Ready for help, but don't know where to start?

Starting your journey back to health and well-being can be overwhelming but the Member Assistance Program is here to help. Call MAP at 602.340.7334 - it's confidential and we can help with some suggestions to get you going in the right direction.
Learn more about the Member Assistance program and other available resources below.  

 

Member Assistance Program - A free, confidential service

The Member Assistance Program, also called "MAP", offers a peer support network of volunteer lawyers who have been trained to offer support to lawyers, judges and law students or their immediate families, who experience issues in their personal or professional life. Why allow things to continue unresolved? Help is available.

You are not alone. Recent studies show that lawyers suffer from substance use disorder, addiction, depression and anxiety at a rate higher than the average population, and at a rate higher than many other professionals.  

Our Peer Support Network of volunteers is here to help.  You may call anyone on the list, or you may call us to be matched with someone. All calls to MAP and to MAP's volunteers are confidential under Supreme Court rule.

If you have questions, or want to be matched with a peer volunteer, call us at 602.340.7334.
