Lawyers Assistance Program

About Lawyers Assistance Program

Founded in 1980 by a dedicated group of lawyers, the Lawyers Assistance Program (LAP) was established to support legal professionals struggling with alcohol abuse and addiction. Over the years, LAP has evolved to address a broader spectrum of mental health challenges, ensuring that judges, lawyers, and law students receive the help they need. With a commitment to confidentiality and peer support, LAP has become a vital resource for the legal community in Illinois.

Impact of LAP

Since its inception, LAP has been instrumental in helping legal professionals find recovery and maintain their well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health and substance use issues within the legal community, leading to increased demand for LAP's services. By implementing HIPAA-compliant telehealth services, LAP has expanded its reach, providing essential support to those in need across the state.
