SUICIDE PREVENTION
Suicide is a leading cause of death among lawyers. In fact,
11 percent of lawyers have had suicidal thoughts at some point in their career. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please
call 911 for immediate
help or call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to speak with the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. TLAP's staff can provide information about signs of suicide.
