Support your
Support your people. Support your business.
Your work is essential.
So are your people.
You work on the front line dealing with high-stress and crisis situations. The work is adversarial and challenging, both professionally and personally. It’s almost always under time pressure and the results have big consequences – for your clients, your firm, and your people. It can affect your peoples’ wellbeing and their work, and unmanaged issues risk financial and reputational damage.
The work won’t change. The demands are ongoing. And traditional solutions, like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and wellbeing workshops, are all too often band-aid solutions that don’t work in the long term. We think you, your people, and your clients deserve better.

We're your partner on the front line, and for good.
Support For Lawyers is your embedded ally. We partner with you on the front line, providing regular, ongoing support for your people, your leaders, and your business.
Our mental health experts are legal industry specialists. So, monthly check-ins are tailored to industry-specific challenges and individual needs to deal with issues before and as they arise. At the organisational level, Support For Lawyers helps you embed the skills, systems, and culture that empower your leaders to manage issues and conflicts better and with a trauma-informed approach. We help remove the administrative, logistical, and expertise-based barriers to implementing a successful and sustainable wellbeing program. We help your firm customise wellbeing initiatives with needs-based learning and development.
While we can, and do, help in a crisis, our main purpose is prevention. We don’t just treat the symptoms; we address the individual and systemic elements that undermine wellbeing to deliver sustained, meaningful benefits. And by changing the way we think about, approach, and experience wellbeing, we’re working towards broader, industry-wide change.

All staff have access to monthly, ongoing check-ins with a trained mental health professional. We provide acute care, address issues before they become crises, offer career coaching, and celebrate wins.

Your
embedded ally
We want to see you thrive. So, we help you embed the knowledge, skills, and systems that improve and sustain wellbeing.
Our approach addresses all levels as we work with individuals, leadership teams, and the organisation. It’s the key to helping you build a resilient, high-performing team, culture, and business.
Changing
perceptions
Change for good means changing the narrative about mental health and accessing support.
We work with progressive law firms and industry leaders to normalise wellbeing care – making it as common, and important, as monthly billing. And it’s helping change how the legal industry thinks about, approaches, and experiences wellbeing.

long-lasting relationships with

Why choose us?
Support For Lawyers is a wellbeing alternative like no other. With specialised, ongoing support for staff and organisational leadership, we’re re-designing the model of care. Our work empowers tangible, meaningful, and sustained improvements for the wellbeing of your people and your business.
Legal industry specialists
We know the demands of daily legal life. The work and culture go hand-in-hand with many stressors, including long hours, billing pressures, gender harassment or discrimination, competitive and adversarial relationships, and exposure to traumatic experiences, to name a few.
We know how to support you in a way that actually works. All of our therapists have worked extensively in the legal industry and are best-placed to help with your unique challenges.
Ongoing support.
Sustained results.
Many firms establish solutions like an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to care for staff who reach a crisis point. Some wellbeing providers also offer coaching to help staff manage the ongoing challenges of their work or personal lives. And some employers add adjunct services to their wellbeing programs, like exercise classes and mindfulness workshops.
These may work well in the short term. But with support limited to a set number of sessions, claims about sustained results fall flat – because your people face ongoing demands, so continued support is critical.
We help your people, leadership team, and the business through monthly, ongoing check-ins, expert guidance and support, as well as educational resources. We become your long-term ally, helping your people and business become stronger and more resilient – now and well into the future.
Outperforming
traditional methods
We know you care about your people. You’ve probably tried traditional wellbeing services, like wellbeing workshops, exercise classes, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
The intention is right. But all too often, the benefits are short-lived, band-aid solutions. They rarely address the issues that cause a wellbeing crisis. So, what does that really cost you?
Our proactive, longer-term focus helps you reduce, or even prevent, the hidden costs of poorly managed wellbeing. And our costs are both known up front and tax deductable.
It’s simply better support for better living and better business.
Innovative approach.
Better benefits.
Traditional wellbeing solutions claim to help in times of crisis as well as achieve long-term results. Support For Lawyers is the real game-changer delivering better, sustainable benefits.
Changing the narrative.
Breaking barriers.
Over 40% of legal sprofessionals still say they don’t trust the confidentiality of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) provided by their employer and fear judgement from their peers or firm.
Our regular, routine check-ins normalise psychological care. Changing the narrative within your firm removes the stigma and provides a safe, non-judgmental space for your people to get the expert help they need, when they need it.
Appropriate, authentic care
builds loyalty
Engaging with Support For Lawyers makes a bold statement. It proves you value your people. It shows you don’t just talk about wellbeing – you take action.
You’ll attract and retain great people. And you’ll empower them to deliver great work which attracts and retains great clients.
Longer-term,
lower-cost results
Staff only access your EAP when they’ve reached crisis point, if at all. So, the cost may be lower … in the short term. But what does reaching a crisis point really cost you?
Our innovative model improves and sustains wellbeing … and it pays off. It reduces or even prevents costly issues, like absenteeism, presenteeism, customer complaints, and insurance claims. And it improves productivity as well as the quality of work and client relationships. Investing in your people is investing in your business.
What to expect when
you partner with us
It’s like an apple a day – well, a check-in a month, actually. But it’s more than just a set and forget counselling program that staff may, or may not, access.
Through regular, ongoing, industry-specialised support at individual and organisational level, we help you implement a program that improves the communication, behaviours, and priorities that sustain wellbeing. And while we can, and do, help in a crisis, our main purpose is prevention. We don’t just treat the symptoms; we address the individual and systemic elements that undermine wellbeing to deliver long-term, meaningful benefits.
Our proactive, holistic approach is the superior foundation for building a more supportive, sustainable, and high-performance culture.
Supporting your people
Our team of psychologists is available to each of your staff members for a monthly check-in at any time that suits their busy schedule – in or out of hours.
It’s as easy as a chat, but much more valuable. It’s a chat that can make sure your most important asset – the people who provide your firm’s services – are cared for and have a way to deal with potential problems early.
Supporting your business
We provide a simple, convenient, easy-to-implement wellbeing solution that works in true partnership with the firm.
Our experts tailor your organisational wellbeing program, offering needs-based learning and development. We also provide services and guidance in areas like communication, change management, and conflict resolution.
We help remove the administrative, logistical, and expertise-based barriers to developing and delivering a wellbeing program that works. And appropriate, authentic support = great people = great work = great clients = great business.
