The Wellbeing Committee and the Bar Council has commissioned The Black Dog Institute to provide mental health training for members, including heads of chambers, clerks and chambers staff. On Tuesday, 18 May there will be a 60-minute Zoom webinar titled "Mental Health is Everybody’s Business", to be presented by Dr Sarah Edelman. It will discuss such things as: How do we raise awareness? How do we train people to spot the signs that someone is in trouble? How does one intervene effectively? What resources are available?

Please register here for this webinar.
