Roger Williams University Law School Emphasizes Mental Health Support for Students
Roger Williams University (RWU) Law School is actively promoting mental health awareness and support for its students, aligning with the American Bar Association's designation of October 10 as Law Student Mental Health Day, which coincides with World Mental Health Day. The university acknowledges the significant stress associated with law school and is working to destigmatize mental health issues and substance abuse. RWU Law has established a Student Wellness page that provides information on various resources, including on-campus counseling services, contact details for the Dean of Students Office, fitness and recreational facilities, and the RWU Counseling Center. Additionally, the law library offers a 'Stress Management, Mindfulness and Wellness LawGuide' to help students cope with academic pressures. Events such as 'Confessions of a Recovering 1L' and 'Lawyers Helping Lawyers' are also being held to foster a supportive community and ensure students feel they are not alone in their struggles.
