Confidential Support in the Palm of Your Hand

Did you know SupportLinc offers confidential, on-demand support for attorneys? This FREE member resource includes Textcoach®, a secure way to connect with a licensed clinician anytime, anywhere.

What is Textcoach®?
Textcoach® is like having a personal “Coach” in your pocket to help attorneys balance long work hours with the demands of home, family life and more.

Textcoach® Features:

• A stigma-free access point
• Independently licensed clinicians, also known as “Coaches”
• Connect with a Coach via desktop or mobile device
• Texting whenever and wherever
• Voice notes, tip sheets, articles, videos and more
• Referrals to local mental health professionals
• 100% confidentiality

Whether you’re managing stress, burnout, or work-life balance, Textcoach® is there to support you quietly and on your terms.

To access SupportLinc's services online, members will need to create an account and enter the group code ribalap.

While accessing SupportLinc’s online portal requires minimal demographic information, that information is never shared with the Bar and remains fully confidential. Members may also call the SupportLinc helpline at 866-482-8378 for 24/7 confidential support for themselves or their dependents—no personal information is required to use the helpline.

In addition to Textcoach®, the Lawyers Helping Lawyers Committee (LHL) wants to remind you that support is available whenever you need it. Life as a lawyer can be demanding, and our goal is to ensure that you have access to confidential help and resources to navigate personal and professional challenges. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply need someone to talk to, you may reach out to a member of the LHL Committee for peer support from fellow Rhode Island attorneys who understand the unique pressures of the profession.
