We’re proud to see Derek LaCroix, KC, Executive Director of LAPBC, featured in this important article on recovery and culture change in the legal profession.

In the piece, Derek shares how many lawyers lose their sense of purpose under the pressures of practice—and how alcohol and drugs can become a way to “fill that hole until they don’t.” Drawing from his own recovery journey, he emphasizes the importance of breaking stigma, especially for women, and encourages senior lawyers and judges to speak openly about their experiences.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and restorative Thanksgiving. 🍂 At LAPBC, we’re reminded that gratitude and well-being go hand in hand. Taking time to slow down, rest, and care for our mental health isn’t just important during the holidays — it’s essential all year long.

10/10/2025

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that mental health is just as important as physical health — and that no one should face their challenges alone. At LAPBC, we’re here for lawyers and others in the BC legal community who may need a safe, confidential space to reach out for help, guidance, or simply a listening ear.

Let’s keep breaking the stigma and supporting one another — not just today, but every day. Visit our website for mental health resources and support: https://www.lapbc.com/
