This new Professional Wellbeing Commission for Legal Professionals by the International Bar Association (IBA) has been developed to improve the wellbeing of legal professionals around the world. It was based on the results of two surveys and the 2021 IBA report 'Mental Wellbeing in the Legal Profession: A Global Study' which identified that wellbeing challenges are similar across jurisdictions, some jurisdictions had no wellbeing support and stigma is a major problem.
