The practice of law is a stressful occupation, indeed. Day in and day out, attorneys focus on resolving other people’s problems, while by and large ignoring their own.

The daily pressures faced in our profession can lead to inordinate stress, which, in many cases, can result in alcohol and drug abuse, depression, gambling problems, burnout or other emotional upheaval.

There is a solution

Iowa lawyers don’t have their problems alone. Confidential help is available from Iowa lawyers who have “been there, done that.”

In most cases, the initial call for help to ILAP comes from a fellow attorney or family member.
