In this special episode of the Activist Lawyer Podcast, we explore a topic that’s incredibly important, yet still not properly understood – the state of mental health in the legal profession.  Host Sarah Henry speaks with Activist Lawyer co-founder Jonathan McKeown who, as a solicitor and owner of multiple businesses, shares his journey and personal insights into his own mental health struggles throughout his career.  Sarah and Jonathan discuss issues around ‘burn out’ within the profession, barriers to seeking help and the importance of striving for work-life balance in the hope that employers and managers can contribute to a more inclusive and safer workplace for all practitioners.   It’s a conversation that we think needs to be heard and we are interested in feedback and thoughts from our listeners on this pertinent topic!
