What further can we do to support the wellbeing and mental health of men in the IP professions?
A fantastic November 2022 LawCare report: “Men’s mental health in the legal profession” has led to a spotlight being shone on the wellbeing and mental health of men in the legal professions. Following on from that report and its findings, Jonathan’s Voice and IP Inclusive wanted to delve deeper into what can be done for men in the IP professions, using a round-table discussion to seek views on particular challenges and opportunities as well as possible formats of engagement.
Who was it for?
We particularly looked for people who identify as men to be involved. Although we very much appreciate that women can be strong and important allies on our journey, for this initial conversation we preferred to receive input with that narrow focus. We did, however, welcome participation from a wide range of IP sector roles and career levels.
Follow-up
The discussions were incredibly constructive and will help us to plan follow-up initiatives as part of our overall mental wellbeing objectives. Keep an eye on our News and Features and events pages for further information.
