Your Bar Association is proud to offer you free and confidential help, information, assessment, and referral for personal concerns through our long-standing Lawyers Helping Lawyers Program (LHL). Lawyers Helping Lawyers Committee members choose this volunteer assignment because they understand the issues and want to help their peers find answers and appropriate courses of action. Committee members listen to your concerns, share their experiences, and offer strictly confidential, free, peer and professional assistance for your personal challenges.
In addition to the LHL program, the Association recently contracted with CorpCare - a lawyer assistance program that provides professional clinical assessments and facilitates getting appropriate treatment for Bar members free of charge.
CorpCare recently announced that they have expanded their provider network to include the BetterHelp platform. RIBA members still have the option to have in-person local counseling, or telehealth counseling with a local provider through the CorpCare network, but now, you also have the option of BetterHelp if you are interested in a digital platform. As always, CorpCare professionals are available via phone to talk with you, complete an intake, and connect callers with care – for any available benefit and all types of counseling. You now have the option to access counseling directly through the BetterHelp platform without having to call the CorpCare helpline. We know that often times the phone call can be a barrier; some people want the option of an online portal, to schedule online, and to avoid the phone call. We can now meet those needs with the assistance of BetterHelp.
Click here to directly access to the BetterHelp platform via a website and/or QR code. When you arrive at the site, enter your information and search for Rhode Island Bar Association in the “Employer Name/Access Code” field. Once the correct place is selected, follow the prompts to get started. Members get access to video, phone, or chat messaging.
