Mental Health Brief #11

Support is at your fingertips

The Members Assistance Program (MAP) is a confidential service designed to help members achieve their health and wellness goals. Lawyers, paralegals, law students, judges, other legal professionals and their families covered by the MAP are provided with confidential, single sign-on access to a number of innovative online services.

Members can find information, tools and resources on a number of topics including but not limited to: psychological challenges; marital/relationship challenges; separation/divorce; stress; depression; and anxiety.

Members also have access to a comprehensive Health Risk Assessment, can take a number of self-directed e-Courses and download a wealth of wellness-related MP3s from the Health-e Multimedia Centre.

The MAP landing page itself contains a number of resources specific to lawyers, paralegals, law students, judges, other legal professionals.

No login is necessary to access articles, studies, self-assessments and links that have been posted to help MAP members with various challenges including those related to stress, depression and anxiety.

Articles are available for download in PDF format and a number of additional web links are also provided.

The Opening Remarks mental health briefs provide Ontario lawyers with wellness tips and resources from a variety of individuals speaking in their own capacity. The briefs are not a substitute for professional care. If you are in crisis, we encourage you to urgently contact a mental health service provider.
