Moderator - International Lawyer Mental Health Session

Pleased to moderate on November 9, 2021, Mental Health and Wellness Insights from Around the World, an international panel hosted by the Ontario Bar Association. It was an absolute delight to discuss with esteemed experts what the UK, USA, Singapore, Canada and New Zealand are doing to promote lawyer sustainability and wellbeing.

I was also joined by my fellow IP colleague, Paul Lomic. Like myself, my fellow colleagues on the panel research and develop initiatives that are relevant to the rule of law, the legal profession and the broader global community. We engage with legal professionals, law firms, law societies and bar associations, governments, non-governmental organisations and international institutions to ensure innovative, collaborative and effective outcomes for mental health.
It’s amazing that judges in some of those jurisdictions are leading conversations and being role models for the rest of the profession. They have made it to the top, and they want to make sure that the others are able to follow in ways that ensure overall health and well-being.
