Building a stronger legal sector through community

Press release

Mental Health Awareness Week (12 to 18 May 2025). This Mental Health Awareness Week, LawCare is celebrating the power of community – a vital tool for providing support, connecting different generations, and creating workplaces where everyone feels valued and can thrive.

As the legal sector evolves, so do the ways we communicate, collaborate, and support one another. While change can be challenging and may leave people feeling isolated – especially when it disrupts familiar ways of working – it also creates opportunities to strengthen relationships and find better ways of working together.

In a high-pressure sector like law, where stress and other mental health challenges are common, it’s more important than ever to value community and remember that support is always available.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, LawCare encourages you to:

👉 Talk more

Community matters, especially when work feels overwhelming. Take a moment to check in with a colleague, reach out to a client, or catch up with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Sometimes, choosing a phone call over an email can make all the difference in staying connected and supported.

👉 Join LawCare’s “Let’s talk about Gen Z” webinar

The next generation is shaping the future of the legal sector. Join this free webinar on Thursday 15 May to hear more about how Gen Z’s expectations and values are influencing the legal profession. 

👉 Share ideas and good practice

Let others know about your community. Where do you find your support, offer help and collaborate with others? Share these insights on social media and tag LawCare so they can reshare.
