Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce that it has recommitted to the American Bar Association Pledge to promote well-being in the legal profession. The firm first signed the Pledge in 2018 and this year joins over 200 other law firms and legal employers in taking part in this campaign aimed at bringing awareness to the substance use and mental health landscape of the legal profession.
The pledge is part of a campaign called the Working Group to Advance Well-Being in the Legal Profession. It was created in 2017 to make recommendations to help legal employers support healthy work environments, with an emphasis on mental health and substance use issues. The seven-point pledge incorporates education, culture, and internal policies to help ensure the long-term health and well-being of members in the legal profession.
“This past year has challenged our well-being in ways we could have never imagined,” says Chandra Kilgriff, Robins Kaplan’s Chief Talent and Diversity Officer. “As we continue to evolve and adapt to our new environment, we are glad to recommit to this program that provides a robust framework of mental health support for those in the legal community.”
