LawCare, the mental health and wellbeing charity, has launched a free online course for legal professionals.

The course, ‘Working with others’, is the second part of LawCare’s Fit for Law series, and has been developed with the help of the University of Sheffield and The Open University. The course takes around four hours to complete.

It covers working with clients, including difficult or vulnerable clients, working with colleagues and collaborating with third parties, and is available through the LawCare website.

Elizabeth Rimmer, CEO of LawCare said: ‘We know from our work at LawCare the detrimental impact poor relationships in the workplace can have on mental wellbeing; this course will help legal professionals to feel more confident in raising concerns, managing client relationships, and understanding what may be driving challenging behaviour in others.’
