Sustain the Lawyers. Sustain the System. The YLAL Mental Health Survey.
Young Legal Aid Lawyers are conducting an anonymous survey to understand the impact of working in legal aid on the mental health and wellbeing of junior practitioners.
Legal aid work is rewarding, but it can also involve significant emotional pressures, demanding workloads and challenges to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Through this survey, we aim to gather evidence about the realities of working in the sector and identify the changes needed to make legal aid a sustainable long-term career.
The results will be used to inform a campaign for change and to ensure that the experiences of junior legal aid practitioners are heard by policymakers and decision-makers.
