LAWYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Last night, at the Nassau County Bar Association, I was part of a group making a presentation to the Board of the Nassau County Bar Association regarding the Lawyer Assistance Program.

"The Nassau County Bar Association Lawyer Assistance Program (NCBA LAP) provides confidential assistance to all attorneys, judges and law school students who are struggling with alcohol, drug and/or mental health problems or are affected by the problem of substance abuse, stress, or depression. The program services are free and completely confidential. The NCBA takes the firm position that alcoholism, substance abuse, addictive behavior and psychological problems are treatable illnesses rather than moral issues. The services of LAP are available to all attorneys and judges as well as their family members, whether or not you are a member of the Nassau County Bar Association. If you are concerned about your own alcohol, drug use and/or mental health, or if you are concerned about a friend, colleague, partner or associate, a call to the Nassau County Bar Association Lawyer Assistance Program can help. This service is not for the general public."

LAP 24-hour Confidential Hotline: 888-408-6222
