On World Mental Health Day, Fasken joins voices calling to break down the stigma surrounding mental health challenges and mental illness. The legal sector is particularly concerned, with a significant proportion of its professionals reporting having experienced mental health issues. As a firm committed to the well-being of its members and the wider community it serves, Fasken is firmly engaged in fostering a supportive environment, and urges all those experiencing distress to seek help. One such resource is “The Right Not to Remain Silent: The Truth About Mental Health in the Legal Profession” by Beth Beattie, Carole Dagher, and Thomas GW Telfer (co-editors). This book features raw and honest accounts of mental illness and substance use and helps create space for those in the legal profession to share their stories. Let’s come together to learn, share, and show our determination to create a more compassionate and understanding world. #worldmentalhealthday #wellness #mentalhealth
