It also showed that women attorneys were more likely than men to experience stress, anxiety, and depression.  On a positive note, in a 2021 ABA Legal Tech Report Survey, a majority of attorneys said that their firm is supportive of their mental health needs. Including supporting them as a parent and the ability for the attorney to take adequate breaks and make time for themself.                                                                However, as shared in a recent Business Insider article , when it comes to Big Law the challenges of mental health are multiplied as many lawyers are expected to work 15-hour days and there are cultural and structural barriers for lawyers seeking help.  That is why Lawline is hosting a Virtual CLE Event on November 18th titled [Well-Being in Big Law](https://www.lawline.com/event/well-being-in-biglaw).  Thanks to our faculty at [Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP](https://www.linkedin.com/company/quinn-emanuel-urquhart-%26-sullivan-llp/), [Jackson Lewis P.C.](https://www.linkedin.com/company/jacksonlewispc/), [Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gibson-dunn-%26-crutcher-llp/), [Reed Smith LLP](https://www.linkedin.com/company/reed-smith-llp/), [Wiggin and Dana LLP](https://www.linkedin.com/company/wiggin-and-dana-llp/), [Lyra Health](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lyra-health/), and [CNA Insurance](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cna-insurance/) for helping put this together.
