Stories From Our Colleagues: We may not like what we hear but we may need to hear it.

Stories From Our Colleagues: We may not like what we hear but we may need to hear it.

This is the third post in the VJLAP series, “Stories From Our Colleagues” (Stories from legal professionals who have experienced mental health and substance abuse issues and, by sharing their stories, hope to shine a light on problems that are often in the shadows and give hope to others who may need a beacon of hope and light to shine on their own difficulties).

We may not like what we hear but we may need to hear it. Listen to Joey’s story:

 

If you are feeling concerned about your mental health or a loved one’s well-being, don’t be afraid to reach out. You can talk with a friend, a colleague, your doctor, your spiritual leader, a counselor, or VJLAP. We are free and confidential and we will help you to connect with resources to feel better.
