Legal sector mental health charity LawCare has launched a new free online course to support wellbeing in the workplace.
Supporting legal workplace wellbeing is aimed at managers, team leaders, wellbeing leads and champions, as well as people working in human resources, learning and development and other support roles in the legal sector.
The course offers practical guidance on creating better ways of working. It looks at how individuals and organisations can help create workplaces where people feel supported and able to speak openly.
Trish McLellan, interim CEO of LawCare said: “We know from our support service and Life in the Law 2025 research that workplace culture and the way people are managed can have a big impact on wellbeing.
“Many people want to support colleagues, have better conversations and create healthier ways of working, but aren’t always sure where to start. This course is designed to help them do that.”
Supporting legal workplace wellbeing is the third free online course within the Fit for Law series, which helps legal professionals develop psychologically and emotionally healthier ways of working.
Fit for Law is a collaboration between LawCare and academics at the University of Sheffield and The Open University.
Dr Emma Jones, senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield and a LawCare trustee, added: “Many individuals within the legal sector are involved in supporting workplace wellbeing.
“This may be as part of their job description, through a volunteer role, or as part of their wider responsibilities as a line manager or leader.”
