South Carolina LAP Roundup
This week, we’re spotlighting South Carolina’s Lawyers Helping Lawyers (LHL) program. According to its mission statement, “Lawyers Helping Lawyers provides programs and services to assist members of the legal profession in South Carolina who suffer from problems of substance abuse or depression, which affect their professional and/or personal life. Members of the Lawyers Helping Lawyers Committee comprise a support network of recovering judges and lawyers who assist in carrying the recovery message.”
LHL has a confidential helpline and partners with LifeFocus Counseling Service to offer five hours of free intervention counseling. The LHL website includes information on addiction, depression, upcoming events and local treatment facilities.
LHL’s Director is J. Robert Turnbull Jr. His contact details, along with those for other LHL members and LifeFocus Counseling, are available at the Lawyers Helping Lawyers website.
