Law Students Depression
& Stress Support
Law school is one of the most stressful times in a lawyers life. You go from being the “best and brightest” to being surrounded by people who were all the “best and brightest.” Law School is demanding.
Intense competition, unreasonable workload, never-ending deadlines, financial debt and the pressure to compete for a job on top of life’s regular stressors easily becomes overwhelming. Law students are particularly vulnerable to stress related issues such as anxiety, depression, and alcohol and drug abuse.
Confidentiality is Guaranteed.
We know what you are going through because we were once in law school too. We can help. LAP’s free and confidential services, including consultations, assessments, individual and group therapy, referrals and interventions, are available to all Illinois law students at no cost whatsoever.
Law students can call LAP for assistance for themselves and for their their classmates. Many law students also come to LAP with questions about how to deal with character and fitness issues. We can assist with that as well. All of LAP’s services are free and confidential.
