NH Lawyers Assistance Program

Today's theme is Feel Well - Emotional Well-being. In honor of this, we are taking time to focus on giving our lives order and structure. Think about a home project you've been meaning to get around to. We hope you found time to focus on wellness and we will be back next year.

Today's WWIL theme is "Connect", and we're going to be concentrating on our social well-being. IWIL invites us today toplan a social gathering or strengthen your connection to meaningful groups. Take time today to think about and appreciate your own sense of social belonging.

Day 3 of WWIL is about intellectual well-being and is called "Engage and Grow". Our advice for today is to do as Kendrick said and "Turn the TV Off". Today, try to shut down the technology and see what you can learn from talking to people, doing activities, or reading a book.

Today, we are going to center our spiritual well-being. We invite everyone to find this by saying one hundred silent "thank yous" or positive wishes for people. Make a point of doing small acts of kindness without expectations of thanks or praise.

It's IWIL's Well-being Week in Law! Today's theme is "Stay Strong". Our charge today is to take an "awe walk", where we slow down and perceive the world around us, shifting our attention outward. In honor of this, enjoy these photos the team took on recent vacations.

We just added a bunch of events to our website for Well-being Week in Law! Check out some of these free webinars and try to catch a few throughout the week. lapnh.org/events.htm

Happy Holidays from the New Hampshire Lawyers Assistance Program! As a reminder, our staff will be staying home over the holidays but our phone lines will remain open. Please remember to prioritize your well-being this holiday season, and we will see you all after the holidays.

Happy Veterans Day 'thank you' to all those who have served! Many businesses, including ourselves, are closed today; however, our phones will remain on for emergencies. If you or someone you know is in crisis, remember 988 remains open; for the veterans crisis line, press one.

Suicide affects everyone and creates ripples through our communities. Know the signs to be aware of and don't be afraid to speak up. If you can, lend an ear to someone in need. You are always free to call NHLAP if you need to talk. If you are in active crisis, dial 988.

Phew! After a very busy week and what we consider a successful fundraising effort, we are ready for a nice, restful weekend. Just before we head out, we want to thank and recognize our lovely donors once again. Thanks for participating, and we will talk soon! #nhgives

We did it! We made 24 posts in 24 hours! This kind of undertaking is not for the faint of heart. We're tired. We're cranky. We're ready to get back out there. Just because NH Gives is over doesn't mean the giving is. As a reminder, we are now on Venmo @LAP603! #nhgives

One last final push! We are down to ONE HOUR left! If you haven't donated, donate. If you HAVE donated, donate. If you haven't bothered all your friends and family, do so now. We trust you. You know what to do. #nhgives nhgives.org/organizations/…

We are really coming down to the wire with NH Gives. Two hours remain in the giving day. Now is your chance to donate if you haven't already. Heck, now is your chance to donate AGAIN if you already have. #nhgives nhgives.org/organizations/…
