About Us
The LegalMind Society is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, which was founded in September of 2021 by Juan Bacigalupi with the vision of offering peer support and mental health education to those in the legal community. Juan is a lawyer living with mental illness who believed there needed to be an organization that offered peer support to other lawyers living with mental illness.
The LegalMind Society recognizes the crucial role that lawyers and judges play in our society, and seeks to ensure that the profession is able to take care of itself while serving society.
The LegalMind Society’s mission is to promote mental health and well-being among legal professionals through outreach and peer support.
The LegalMind Society envisions a world where an attorney’s well-being is prioritized and the stigma of mental illness is not a barrier to practicing law.
