Sterne Kessler Joins the ABA Well-Being Pledge Campaign

Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox is proud to announce that it has signed on to the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Well-Being Pledge Campaign.

The ABA Well-Being Pledge Campaign is designed to support well-being in the legal profession and address the profession’s troubling rates of alcohol and other substance-use disorders as well as mental health issues. The campaign’s goals are to raise awareness, facilitate a reduction in the incidence of problematic substance-use and mental health distress, and improve well-being in the law.

From education to policies to culture, the seven-point pledge identified in the campaign reflects the core areas on which legal employers should focus and the concrete steps they should take as they seek to achieve those goals.

We are committed to providing attorneys and staff with the tools necessary for their success in a safe environment that supports their physical and mental health. Through our wellness program, we offer a variety of activities and resources to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce stress, including access to our onsite wellness center in partnership with CloseKnit and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield.
