Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism, addiction, and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling, and they clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers. When added to the impact on the profession of the COVID-19 crisis and the resultant uncertainty, we have opened a Pandora’s box of unintended consequences.
In addition to a breakdown of the results of the recent ABA and Law.Com studies, Mr. Quinn will discuss:
- The early warning signs of impairment, including alcohol and drug use, mental health disorders, and the “silent” addiction, gambling.
- The free services that Lawyers Assistance Programs provide to lawyers, judges, their family members, and law students.
- A close look at what barriers exist that prevent lawyers from seeking the help they need.
- The role that education plays in breaking the stigma and fear associated with addiction and mental illness in the legal profession.
- How best to approach the impaired individual.
