Rainbow Recovery Group Offers Confidential Support to LGBTQIA+ Legal Professionals

The New Jersey Lawyers Assistance Program (NJLAP) has launched the Rainbow Recovery Group (RRG), a free, confidential peer support group for LGBTQIA+ legal professionals and allies in recovery.

Open to lawyers, judges, law students and law graduates nationwide, the group provides a welcoming environment for discussing substance use, mental health concerns and recovery. Although rooted in the 12-step tradition, RRG embraces an “all pathways to recovery” approach, recognizing that recovery looks different for everyone.

Meetings are held virtually on the last Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. Eastern, allowing legal professionals from Ohio and across the country to participate.
