Mental Health Association in New York State的动态

In honour of World Mental Health Awareness Day, I am sharing posts by Beth Beattie, co-editor and contributing author, and Michael Ferguson about The Right Not to Be Silent: The Truth About Mental Health in The Legal Profession. I am honoured to be included in the community of authors who have shared their stories so powerfully and eloquently. I am humbled by the response the book has received and its contribution to the essential dialogue about mental and health and wellbeing our profession must continue to have. "The Right Not to Remain Silent: The Truth About Mental Health in the Legal Profession is an insightful resource that provides a candid exploration of mental health and substance use challenges faced by the legal profession. The authors are raw and honest in their description of their accounts of their own mental illness and substance use and they create space for those in the legal profession to share their own stories. Typically the legal profession has shied away from discussing mental health. Lawyers, firms, judges worried that discussing it would jeopardize their reputation in the community and with clients – this book is groundbreaking in its ability to dismantle that stigma.?It also offers valuable perspectives and practical strategies for law firm leaders and practitioners to support their lawyers’ and their own mental health. Understanding the unique stress of legal practice, this book is an essential tool for fostering a supportive workplace culture where mental health is prioritized." Eowynne Noble (She/Her), Chief People Officer at Fasken Thank you, Eowynne, for your comments about the book. A theme that weaves its way through the stories in the book is HOPE. My fervent hope is that combined with many other initiatives about this important topic, we can eliminate stigma and normalize conversations about mental health and the challenges we face. #therightnottobesilent #mentalhealth #mentalhealthatwork

Addictions come in many forms, and stress is the root of so many of them. The most basic of addictions, the addiction to comfort, is often the root of why we choose numbing agents such as shopping, eating, alcohol, drugs, or so many more. Because we #LovedJennie, we want to raise awareness of the roots behind mental health issues and their often tragic outcomes. Join us in spreading the word!

It is Mental Health Awareness Month, an important time to shine a light on the challenges facing individuals affected by mental health issues. As lawyers, we work in an inherently difficult profession, so the intersectionality with mental health is a serious issue. I wanted to thank Carole Dagher for her openness, bravery and contributions to our profession on this topic. Most recently, she has coeditored a book "The Right not to Remain Silent: The Truth About Mental Health in the Legal Profession." I just ordered my copy. The link is in her post below for you to do the same. All proceeds support CAMH, so let's all contribute to becoming more knowledgable, understanding and part of the change that is needed. #mentalhealth, #inhouselawyers, #generalcounsel, #lawyers

The world should follow this

If your loved has been Baker Acted, and they are being detained on a voluntary admission basis, you should allow the lawyer to revoke consent, you should not let them try and do it on their own, and you should not try to do it on their behalf. There’s a reason that we’ve been successful in getting hundreds and hundreds of people released from Florida’s draconian mental health system, and understanding the RTR (the request to release) and how it really works, is critical. #mentalhealthawareness #legalhelp #bakeract #mentalhealthrights #floridalaw #advocateformentalhealth #knowyourrights #mentalhealthsupport #releaserequest #mentalhealthjustice https://lnkd.in/ePArHVCP https://lnkd.in/gseuQqzK https://lnkd.in/eidebh6e
