Troubled about a lawyer, judge, or law student?
Use data from the screening tests to persuade the person you care about to seek peer counseling. Please directly express the concerns that you have witnessed. They can obtain free, confidential and independent peer support within the day from a trained peer who can draw upon their lived experiences to assist, and end the isolation. The concerned person could also consult WaLAL about helping to convince the troubled person to seek peer counseling.
