Stress

We can all get stressed at times, but we all react differently to pressure in that what stresses me might not stress you. And not all stress is bad – it can be motivating. Serious  and prolonged stress can be distressing, and cause  physical and mental health concerns.

Stress is by far the most common reason for calls to the LawCare helpline. The pressures of work and the long hours culture in the law together with the perfectionist approach that many legal professionals have, can take its toll. But the good news is that understanding what triggers stress can help you manage it.
