The law and mental health: a much needed paradigm shift

Today I had the pleasure of introducing Matt Helt from Techstars to my students at the University at Buffalo School of Law to talk about mental health and personal development. He shared his powerful personal story, challenged us to think about how to destigmatize mental health, and proactively embrace wellness. As a profession we need to be better about creating space for those around us to express their challenges without the fear of criticism or consequences. I know I can do more. We all can.
