World Mental Health Day: Well Within the Law
08/10/2024 11:07:00World Mental Health Day is celebrated on 10 October.
This year’s theme is workplace mental health, highlighting the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities.
Solicitors often face immense pressure, juggling demanding workloads, high expectations, and the emotional toll of their work. Recognising these challenges, Law Society Psychological Services is partnering directly with legal workplaces to ensure everyone can feel Well Within the Law.
Keeping Well Within the Law beyond the festival
Law Society Psychological Services hosted its annual marquee event, ‘Well Within the Law’, a Culture First initiative on 4 September. This event brought together over 300 people from right across the legal community for an evening of discussion, storytelling and a genuine celebration of what makes our legal workplaces, stronger and more connected.
Thank you to everyone who attended, participated and assisted at the festival event. You can watch a summary of the wonder evening, including the unveiling of our own Elephant in the Room sculpture, below.
