In its latest campaign, Reed Smith is aiming to chip away at what it calls one of the "most formidable barriers" preventing lawyers from taking care of their mental health: stigma around mental illnesses.
The firm's new #stopthestigma campaign comes out of a partnership between its Wellness Works initiative, launched two years ago, and its Mental Health Task Force, which was launched in January.
"Eliminating stigma can encourage people to seek the help they need for what we know are treatable conditions—and can result in significant improvements in individuals' and families' lives," Casey Ryan, Reed Smith's global head of legal personnel, said in a statement. "This is an essential outcome our firm is committed to achieving."
