Lowenstein Sandler’s Mental Health & Wellness (MHW) employee resource group is celebrating the completion of a months-long initiative aimed at raising awareness of the importance of mental health, in which the firm’s lawyers and professional staff members custom designed a set of 24 rocking chairs that have been displayed throughout the firm’s New Jersey and New York offices. Multiple firm employee resource groups, including the Diversity Leadership Network, the LGBTQ+ Alliance, and Lowenstein Employees Advancing Diversity, helped support the effort.
The chairs will be auctioned off as a fundraiser on August 27at Lowenstein’s Roseland, NJ offices to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. Participants who purchase the Lowenstein rocking chairs are invited to keep them in their home or office or donate them to an organization supporting mental health services or awareness.

Lowenstein Sandler’s Mental Health & Wellness (MHW) employee resource group aims to bring together Lowenstein attorneys and professional staff members to learn about mental health and wellness, while building relationships and engaging in various activities, in a safe and confidential environment. MHW focuses on equipping members with strategies to deal with the stressors of life, by highlighting firm benefits geared towards improved mental health, by supporting those struggling with mental health challenges, and by normalizing the idea of seeking help for mental health issues. MHW aims to influence and educate the rest of the firm on mental health and wellness issues and further incorporate mental health and wellness strategies into firm policies and trainings.
