Be Well
Take a screening test and reflect on how a peer counselor can improve your health by assisting you to clarify your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. These screening tests are helpful but not required to be eligible to seek peer counseling from WaLAL.
Self-Tests
Screening self-tests are tools that help assess your health issues. These tests identify patterns of feelings, thoughts, or behaviors that can lead to negative consequences in your relationships and decision making.
WaLAL is here to assist.
Perhaps you are struggling with burnout, ennui, questioning career choice, work-life balance, quiet quitting, and failing to goal set. Identifying these patterns may suggest that you pursue assistance to improve your quality of life.
Work With A Peer Counselor
Question:
Do I have to have a diagnosis related to mental health, emotional health, and substance use challenges to be eligible to seek assistance from WaLAL? I don’t have any. I don’t feel mentally ill, drink, drug, or smoke any substance. I just feel blah or kind of a malaise about myself in the legal profession. Or I just have been through a tough life transition.
Answer:
NO. You do not have to have any type of diagnosis to be eligible to seek help from WaLAL. You can engage in peer counseling to explore ennui, burnout, questioning career choice, quiet quitting, failing to goal set, and work-life balance.
WaLAL is not affiliated with any particular program of recovery, State Bar, nor any psychological, medical, or spiritual approach to well-being.
Each person who participates in WaLAL is welcome to find practices that work for them.
