Online support group organized for Florida lawyers diagnose with bipolar or depression issues
The Bar’s Standing Committee on Mental Health and Wellness of Florida Lawyers is partnering with Florida Lawyers Assistance to form a new confidential online support group for lawyers with bipolar or depression diagnoses.
The group, which holds its first online meeting on February 14, plans to meet every Tuesday from 12-1 p.m. moving forward. Committee Chair Karl Klein said the online support group builds upon the foundation set by the Support Group for Working Mother Lawyers .
“Our committee started this journey with the working mothers’ support group, which has run once a week for nearly two years and has been a really good resource for those who participate,” Klein said.
