Focused not only on the mental illness side of mental health, but also on the positive aspects of mental health that are critical to performance and satisfaction.
Helping to develop and implement policies, procedures, and structural changes focused on staff well-being, wellness and mental health. We also provide curated recommendations and partners for add-on wellness services.
We know this world from all angles, as a law firm associate, partner, law professor, as well as from the perspective of a mental health advocate and someone who has experienced depression, anxiety, and burnout.
We offer keen insight, passionate advocacy, and practical tools, with an eye on the big picture cultural and workplace issues from all involved stakeholders.
"What we need to build – institutionally and brick-by-brick at our places of work – is a culture in which we understand that people get sick and that supports them when they do, a culture that looks at our mental health on equal footing and with no more stigma than our physical health. When we are successful in building that, we will be stronger, better, more authentic, more human, and more productive."
Michael Kasdan
CEO, Lawyering While Human
"Alongside mental health, we also focused on diversity and inclusion, authentic leadership, bringing your whole self to work, and positive relational health and relationships and connections. These things are all tightly connected."
Michael Kasdan
CEO, Lawyering While Human
"This venture grew organically out of my own experience with depression as a law firm associate and partner, as well as a presentation I gave years ago called “Lawyering While Human,” on bringing your whole and authentic self to work."
