Event Summary:
Lawyers often face high-stress situations due to heavy workloads, strict deadlines, and the responsibility of representing clients. The immense pressure to achieve positive outcomes can become overwhelming which may result in emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout. Consequently, lawyers may turn to substance abuse as a temporary coping mechanism to alleviate stress, seek refuge from work-related pressures, or address emotional distress and underlying mental health issues.
To address the prevalence of substance abuse among lawyers, it is crucial to comprehend its root causes and the potential ethical pitfalls faced by attorneys. This understanding will facilitate the creation of strategic support systems and promote the significance of mental well-being in the legal field.
