Manitoba’s Peer Support Program For Lawyers
Our Mission is to enhance the immediate and long term wellbeing of Manitoba’s diverse legal community, through inclusive peer support, education, community, and liaison with professional therapeutic services.
We provide support in a confidential and non-judgmental way. Law(yer) Strong is a non-profit corporation.
Matched Peer Support: Someone who has ‘been there’ can be an important source of compassion and support, and offer hope that there’s light on the other side of the struggle.
Group Peer Support: We are not currently offering group sessions, but stay tuned for what we may be offering in the future.
Law(yer) Strong works with the Blue Cross professional counselling program. All Lawyers, Articling Students, and Law Students, are eligible for up to 12 hours of counselling per family per year through their membership with the Law Society of Manitoba as part of the Employee Assistance Program.
Law(yer) Strong offers Healthy Lawyers’ Community Activities to get lawyers away from their desks at lunch hour to participate in a 30 minute walk or run, or other activity such as yoga.
