Legal mental health charity LawCare has extended its online chat service. It offers free, confidential, emotional support to anyone working in the law, including support staff. Online chat will be available Tuesday – Friday, 9am – 5pm. Chief executive Elizabeth Rimmer said: “We recognise that many people can’t or won’t pick up the phone… we wanted to make it easier for people to reach out”. She added: “We don’t ask for roll numbers or details of workplace and people don’t have to give their name.” www.lawcare.org.uk
