Law school is stressful. The Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) provides comprehensive assistance for law students. Whether you just need help coping with day-to-day anxieties, or you are suffering from drug or alcohol problems or serious depression and suicidal thoughts, the Lawyer Assistance Program is here to help. There is no issue too big or too small. LAP’s assistance and any contact with them is free and confidential.
One of the primary goals of the LAP is to provide assistance to law students before any of these problems become debilitating. Contacting the LAP before a problem escalates is one of the best investments you can make, which is why they offer counseling, support, and referrals to any North Carolina law student seeking their services. They also provide guidance and assistance with the character and fitness portion of the bar application.
If you are suffering from drug or alcohol problems, depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, you are not alone. The quicker you recognize the issue and ask for help, the quicker you will be on the road to recovery. Contact the LAP today at http://www.nclap.org/law-students or call them in Charlotte at 704.910.2310 (ask for Cathy), in the Piedmont at 919.719.9290 (ask for Towanda) or in Raleigh at 919.719.9267 (ask for Nicki).
