In the spirt of this issue’s theme of mental well-being, the Continuing Legal Education Society of BC is pleased to share recordings from the recent Mental Health Forum for Legal Professionals that took place on June 23, 2023 (Part 1) and February 6, 2024 (Part 2).

Co-hosted by the Law Society of BC and CLEBC, this two-part event brought together the legal community to advance the conversation on mental health in the legal profession.

The event centered on strategies for enhancing personal mental health and practical approaches for practitioners, firms, and other legal employers to actively improve mental health within their organizations and the broader profession. The specific topics discussed in Part 2 were directly informed by the questions and feedback received from attendees of Part 1 of the forum, ensuring that the speakers addressed the issues most relevant to the audience.

The gathering proved to be a pivotal step in continuing the conversation on mental health in the legal profession. It highlighted the importance of continued engagement and discussion to drive positive change collectively.
