Aims of the session

The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with an understanding of mental health, including common mental health conditions. It also seeks to explore the specific challenges impacting practitioners at the Bar, and those working within the profession. We ultimately aim to equip those attending with the confidence and skill to engage with professional colleagues to create healthy workplaces, respond to difficulties and signpost to support in crisis.
 

Training objectives

  • Develop knowledge of what mental health is and common mental health issues;
  • Gain specific understanding of some of the pressures experienced by barristers and those working with the Bar;
  • Enable participants to signpost for support and further guidance to promote good mental health and aid recovery, and
  • Provide an ability to identify and respond to mental health issues in yourself and others.

How is the session delivered?
