This campaign has now closed
In 25 years LawCare has helped over 10,000 people and, thanks to last year’s Big Give campaign we have been able to extend our online chat service, but there’s still much to do to protect legal minds and drive culture change around mental wellbeing within the profession.

Situation
Our Life in the Law research has shown that people working in the legal sector are at a much higher risk of burnout due to low psychological safety in the workplace, low autonomy & high levels of work intensity mixed with common personality traits such as perfectionism & overthinking. 69% of people surveyed reported that they had experienced mental ill-health in the 12 months before, with young professionals, women, people from minority groups & with disabilities showing the highest risk.
Solution
We provide an emotional support service to everyone working in the legal sector through our helpline, email, online chat and peer support service. We need to raise more funds to provide extra support to those in the legal community that are more vulnerable and in particular acute need of counselling and therapy which they cannot afford themselves.
