Mental Health and Happiness, Essential for the Solo & Small Firm Lawyer

The Solo & Small Firm Section of The Florida Bar recently published an excellent article by Melanie S. Griffin, attorney and founder of Spread Your Sunshine. Melanie wrote “Mental Health and Wellness, Essential for the Solo & Small Firm Lawyer” about her personal struggles with personal and professional hurdles. Her comments: “The stress from these experiences took a toll, manifesting in the physical symptoms outlined in the article and others resulting after it was written. Hearing the stories of how other professionals used mental health and wellness tools to overcome similar adversities is what gave me the skillset to start doing the same. If this article pays it forward to at least one other, the time invested in writing it will have been well worth it.”
