The Trust has developed several brochures, shown below.
The first describes the work of the Trust, its educational
initiatives and objectives, and it supplies a listing of
local lawyer assistance committees.
The "Model LAP Initiatives" Brochure was prepared
for local and specialty bar associations who may be considering
how to support the lawyer assistance effort for their membership.
This brochure contains frequently asked questions about
why to get involved; who could be of help; establishing
committees and other options; paying for services and confidentiality.
The "Character and Fitness" Brochure is the latest in a series of law school-related initiatives, designed to bring resources and awareness of issues of alcohol abuse, drug addiction and depression to law students. This brochure clarifies how the bar admission process addresses these issues.
The "Depression" Brochure was prepared in light of the expansion of the Trust's mission to include the responsibility for addressing, and encouraging treatment for, mental health issues among members of the legal profession. Depression among attorneys occurs twice as frequently as in the general population, yet the condition is often ignored, even though it responds well to treatment.
Check them out -- there is a lot of good information. We have also included a copy of the ABA brochure "Lawyers and Substance Abuse Prevention" another useful resource.
