Statistics show that men are significantly less likely than women to seek support for mental health issues, yet they are disproportionately affected by conditions such as depression and suicide. The stigma around speaking up, combined with pressures to appear ‘strong’ or ‘stoic’, often prevents men from getting the help they need — until it’s too late.
At Lamb Brooks, we understand how life’s pressures — whether personal, financial, or professional — can take a toll. Legal challenges can be a significant source of stress, particularly when they relate to family breakdowns, employment issues, or disputes.
We believe that mental health should never be a taboo subject, and we are committed to supporting our clients with empathy, discretion, and understanding. While we are here to guide you through legal matters, we also encourage anyone struggling to speak to a GP, talk to a friend, or reach out to a support service.
