Dear Followers,
Despite its rewards, lawyering can be a bleak, depressing and emotionally demanding career choice (sorry aspiring lawyers). The legal profession is slow to identify mental health problems, employee burnout, and the impact of family and domestic violence on practitioners. For these reasons, Gregson & Associates have implemented another employee wellness program effective immediately. Today’s well-being offering provides free private counselling services to our staff in addition to that offered by Law Care WA and the Law Society.
Breathe Counselling is our counselling partner in this program. Breathe operate in the Perth CBD, Serpentine, Pinjarra and Rockingham areas. Breathe’s employee assistance program (EAP) assists our staff to access confidential and professional support that is conducive to health, wellbeing and productivity. The EAP is designed to provide counselling assistance to staff who are dealing with work/ personal issues. Breathe’s EAP is tailored to:
- address communication and relationship issues
- address anxiety
- alleviate and manage stress
- deal with grief and loss
- achieve a better work/life balance
- better deal with difficult people
- think and feel better
In addition to counselling services, Breathe Counselling delivers training in the areas of Mental Health First Aid,
Marriage and Preparation for Marriage Courses, Emotional Intelligence and Anger Management.
Yours sincerely,
Craig Gregson
