Georgia Bar Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP)

Reminder that Georgia bar members can access 6 free counseling sessions a year, receive referrals for childcare and finances, and much more!


The Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) is a confidential service provided by the Georgia State Bar, but through a third-party counseling agency to ensure confidentiality.

The LAP provides a broad range of helping services to lawyers seeking assistance with depression, stress, alcohol/drug abuse, family problems, workplace conflicts, psychological and other issues.

You can contact the LAP by calling 800-327-9631, or by emailing Lisa Hardy, vice president, CorpCare Associates, Inc., at lisa@corpcareeap.com.

Services Available Through the Georgia LAP

All services are accessible through the confidential LAP Hotline: 800-327-9631

  2. Personal Counseling: Georgia bar members receive six (6) free counseling per calendar year.

  2. You will then be able to explain your need to the counselor, who will then refer you to professional counselors in an area convenient for you. If you call after hours, you will receive a call back within 24 hours with referrals.
