In collaboration with NSW Young Lawyers and their 2021 charity partner, Minds Count Foundation, the Law Society of NSW hosted a Staying Well in the Law online panel event to mark R U OK? Day on Thursday 9 September, focusing on how to practically ask, “Are you ok?”

Facilitated by Christine Morgan, CEO of the National Mental Health Commission, our expert panellists discussed the importance of normalising mental health conversations with colleagues and the positive personal impacts these conversations can have.
