Sakina Foster, chair of the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program Committee, told the Texas Bar Journal that of the core steps of the well-being report, educational outreach and programming is already a big part of TLAP’s mission. “TLAP reaches tens of thousands of lawyers, law students, and judges in Texas every year with this critical outreach,” she said. “I have witnessed firsthand the impact TLAP makes when they present at a law firm—they truly partner with firms to educate and empower their attorneys on these important issues.”
