In 2018, Reed Smith was one of 13 inaugural firms to join the ABA’s campaign. Recently, one of our own lawyers, Mark Goldstein, detailed his personal struggle in the American Lawyer, dispelling the stigma around mental health issues and offering advice to other lawyers facing similar struggles. We want to continue sharing Mark’s story, and offer practical advice for lawyers and organizations seeking to support employees with mental health issues.
