Each week, eJournal highlights a wellness resource to bring attention to the helpful organizations, articles and websites that are available for members or anyone who may need assistance.
In recognition of Mental Illness Awareness Week, we're sharing a guide from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Massachusetts on "Navigating a Mental Health Crisis," which offers helpful info on warning signs, ways to de-escalate the crisis, available resources, and more.
Find additional wellness resources on the MBA's Health & Well-Being page, which was launched in April 2020 to support member wellness during COVID-19. It features helpful resources for coping with stress, anxiety, panic, substance use disorder and more during the pandemic, with links provided by the ABA Commission on Lawyers Assistance Program, as well as the MBA’s own Lawyer Well-Being Committee.
