Mental Health & Double
Stigma
While it’s hard for
anyone to ask for help, there is a double stigma for those already in
underrepresented groups. This program will address the challenges faced by
lawyers, judges, law students, and farmers when asking for help for mental
health issues. It will also address the relationship between mental health
issues and diversity and inclusion. The program includes a discussion of
strategies to overcome these
issues.
