Confidential Help for you When You Need It Most
Judges face unique stressors and pressures that can affect personal health and professional performance. JCJPA offers confidential, voluntary, and free support services tailored specifically for members of the judiciary and their families.
You Are Not Alone
Judges hold a position of immense responsibility, both within the legal profession and in the public eye. This level of pressure often discourages seeking help even when struggling with stress, depression, burnout, or substance use. Mental health affects everyone. Untreated mental health challenges can severely impact your personal well-being, decision-making, and professional responsibilities.
JCJPA offers completely confidential peer support from fellow judges, trusted referrals, and personalized resources tailored to meet your specific needs. We understand the unique nature of judicial service and offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to find help.
