Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal. It's a solemn occasion to seek forgiveness, reconcile with others, and reaffirm our commitment to justice and compassion. As we join our Jewish members and friends in observing this sacred day, let's embrace the values of humility, introspection, and unity. May this Yom Kippur bring peace, healing, and blessings to all. Wishing you an easy and meaningful fast. #WBAI #YomKippur #DayOfAtonement #Reflection #Unity #WomenInLaw #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenLawyers #WomenAttorneys #ChicagoLawyers #ChicagoAttorneys #IllinoisLawyer #WomenInLaw #WomenEmpowerment #WomenInspiringWomen #WomanEmpowerment #LawyersOfInstagram #FemaleLawyers #AttorneyAtLaw #AttorneyLife #AttorneyStyle
About us
The Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, one of the oldest and largest bar associations in the state of Illinois, was first established in 1914 by nine women lawyers practicing in the Chicago Metropolitan area. It was founded to promote the interests and welfare of women lawyers and also to aid in the enactment of legislation for the common good and in the administration of justice. Its activities have always been divided between burning controversial social and political issues and the practical need to help its members gain employment. The WBAI was one of the first minority bar associations to extend its membership to males.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we join the global community in raising awareness about the importance of mental health and well-being. Mental health is an essential part of our overall health, and it's crucial that we break the stigma surrounding it. The WBAI recognizes the unique mental health challenges faced by women in the legal profession and beyond. Stress, anxiety, and burnout can significantly impact our lives and careers. It's vital that we support one another and prioritize self-care. Let's use this day to: Educate ourselves and others about mental health. Support those who may be struggling. Advocate for policies that promote mental well-being in the workplace. Break the stigma and start conversations about mental health openly. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, and it’s important to check in on your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can create a supportive and understanding community. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WBAI #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #SupportAndCare #WomenInLaw #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenLawyers #WomenAttorneys #ChicagoLawyers #ChicagoAttorneys #IllinoisLawyer #WomenInLaw #WomenEmpowerment #WomenInspiringWomen #WomanEmpowerment #LawyersOfInstagram #FemaleLawyers #AttorneyAtLaw #AttorneyLife #AttorneyStyle
