In this Lawyers Living Well podcast, former State Bar President Robin Frazer Clark talks with interviewer and Lawyer Assistance Program Chair Lynn Garson about the catalyst for founding the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Committee after learning two lawyers died by suicide at the start of her presidency.  “When that... smacks you in the face, you have to pay attention to it. You have to do something.”  In addition to creating the committee, Robin recorded a suicide awareness video which was shown to at least 35,000 attorneys in one year during ICLE programs, and which is still available on the State Bar website for viewing.
