Sheri Wang, Co-Founder of Beyond the A and a Securities Regulatory Lawyer at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP in Toronto, talks about normalizing the topic of anxiety in the legal profession, the relative hurdles individuals may face in law school and beyond, and what has helped her to overcome anxiety.

Q: What advice would you give law students and lawyers who struggle with mental health?

“You should reach out if not to a psychologist or somebody neutral, that’s able to listen…the act of expressing yourself and putting it succinctly out to other people so that they can understand you is already healing in the sense that you are analyzing it as you speak about it.”
