Description
Mental health issues disproportionately affect the legal profession, and stark data on suicide rates amongst attorneys calls our attention to the great need for increased awareness. In this State Bar of Texas podcast, host Rocky Dhir talks to Terry Bentley Hill and Chris Ritter about their passion for helping attorneys learn how to recognize and get help for mental health issues. Terry and Chris openly share their painful personal experiences with these matters, shedding light on the types of symptoms in yourself, colleagues, or loved ones that signal a need for intervention. They discuss the services offered through the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program and encourage lawyers to seek their confidential support at 1-800-343-TLAP. Chris Ritter is the director of the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program. Terry Bentley Hill is a nationally recognized mental health advocate and a criminal defense attorney in Dallas.
