Solicitors focus minds on mental health

Mindful lawyers put their heads together to talk about ‘managing stressful conversations’ during Mental Health Awareness Week.

They donned their thinking caps on to tackle the subject during a special ‘Lunch & Learn’ session at regional law firm Ellis Jones Solicitors with Dorset Mind.

The workshop was held in person and remotely via Teams for staff in Ellis Jones’ six offices across the South and London.

Nigel Smith, managing partner, said: “Law can be an extremely pressurised profession, especially when dealing with clients and colleagues at some very difficult times.

“We are committed to supporting our people in a meaningful way by creating a working environment with an ethos of support and a focus on wellbeing inside and outside of the office.

“Dorset Mind joined us for a very well received Lunch & Learn meeting in January and we are grateful to the charity for returning for another incredible valuable session during Mental Health Awareness Week.” www.ellisjones.co.uk
