May On Balance Podcast digs into unique challenges lawyers face

A 2016 study by the American Bar Association made it well known that lawyers disproportionately struggle with mental health and substance use disorders—and face unique barriers to recovery.  

Now, nearly 10 years later, where do we stand?  

Molly Ranns welcomes lawyer, counselor, and researcher Patrick Krill to the State Bar of Michigan’s On Balance Podcast this month to learn about his current research following up on that 2016 study.  

Ranns and Krill discuss aspects of lawyer wellbeing that have improved in recent years and dig into the areas where those in the profession are still struggling.
