After a long association with the legal profession we are proud to announce our support of the Tristan Jepson Memorial Foundation. The foundation aims to decrease distress, disability and the causes of depression and anxiety in the legal profession. George and Marie Jepson established the Foundation in 2008 in memory of their son Tristan, who tragically took his own life as a result of depression.
According to a 2006 study by Beaton Consulting and Beyond Blue, legal practitioners have the highest rate of depressive symptoms (15.2% compared with an average of 10.5%) in Australia.
