LAWYERS CONCERNED FOR LAWYERS

LCL offers free, confidential help to lawyers, judges, law students and their families who are affected by alcohol and/or chemical use; compulsive behaviors; depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses; stress, or any problem which negatively affects the quality of one’s life at work or at home. LCL offers up to four free counseling sessions as well as appropriate referrals and follow-up. Face to face and virtual support groups are offered regularly.

LCL provides CLE and other educational programs on all of issues we deal with and we travel statewide to meet members of our profession, provide education, support and assistance. Ultimately, our work protects clients and the public. Your donation to LCL will support these critical services and allow us to respond to immediate needs as well as trends in the profession. Last year we helped over 350 people directly and we are on track to exceed those numbers again this year. One lawyer told us "you saved my life by being there when I had given up hope. The confidential, caring support I received during my crisis made a difference.”

The economic downturn has resulted in an increase in requests for LCL’s services, while donations have diminished. Please help if you can and know that your contribution will make a difference for many. See www.mnlcl.org for more information or call us at 651-646-5590 or 866-525-6466. There is help and there is hope.
