Mental health is an important topic that often goes unaddressed in the legal profession. Yet, one study revealed that nearly half the lawyers surveyed had struggled at some point with depression. Now more than ever, in this time of the pandemic, we need to bring awareness to mental-health issues and promote lawyer well-being. In this episode, Todd Smith and Jody Sanders are joined by the Director of the Texas Lawyers' Assistance Program, Chris Ritter. Chris shares his own struggle with alcohol and depression as a practicing lawyer, how he got through it, and how he now helps others in the legal industry. He sheds light on what makes lawyers vulnerable to mental-health issues and provides strategies for maintaining one's well-being during the pandemic and the upcoming holidays. Through it all, it helps to know that you are not alone and are not the only one fighting this battle. Join Chris as he offers comfort and guidance through this conversation.
