New Hampshire Lawyers Assistance Program
Since 2010, New Hampshire Lawyers Assistance has helped hundreds of New Hampshire lawyers, judges and law students find more health, happiness and connection in the legal profession. NHLAP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to confidently and effectively helping New Hampshire lawyers, judges and law students address issues of alcohol and drug misuse, anxiety, depression, grief and aging. We also help find resources, tools and support in finding work-life balance and professional satisfaction. NHLAP is supported by the New Hampshire Supreme Court under NH Supreme Court Rule 58 which mandates confidentiality at all times. NHLAP is not a part of the court nor the NH Bar. We are solely funded through a mandatory NH Bar fee line item per attorney annual assessment. We provide one-one one guidance to access medial, mental health or substance abuse treatment providers. Mentoring, testing and support is readily available. NHLAP also sponsors continuing legal education credits (CLEs) in these areas for NH lawyers as well as consulting tlaw firms, public sector legal employers, legal non-profits and law schools in the areas of work-life balance, overall wellness, and the role of substance misuse and anxiety can play in the lives of many legal practitioners.
