The Legal Mind

Lawyers by their very nature strive for perfection; the profession demands an obsession with details and there is no room for mistakes. Combine this with a heavy workload, long hours and a questioning mind and there is a perfect storm for natural overthinkers. This podcast, from legal mental health charity LawCare, looks at how the legal mind works and offers mental health and wellbeing tips for lawyers and guidance for legal workplaces on how to build healthy cultures which support mental wellbeing.
