#StigmaFreeYLD

Ending the stigma over mental illness

The Florida Bar YLD aimed to end the stigma over mental illness in the legal profession by highlighting prominent attorneys from diverse backgrounds who have struggled with mental illness but have built wildly successful practices, and found true enjoyment in their lives, by taking action and seeking help. The initiative also provided resources that attorneys can use to overcome mental health challenges.
