The core mission of Colorado Lawyers Helping Lawyers (CLHL) is to provide support in a confidential setting to Colorado judges, attorneys and law students who are experiencing substance abuse or mental health issues.

Colorado Lawyers Helping Lawyers, Inc. (CLHL) is a court-approved, peer assistance program that offers support, education and referrals for those entering or already in the legal profession. CLHL offers support for those who are experiencing issues with alcohol, substance abuse, mental health or related lawyer wellbeing issues.  The emphasis is on recovery and relapse prevention. 

There are two (2) weekly group meetings in Denver in the Heritage Room at Trinity Methodist Church. One group focuses on alcohol, substance abuse and related addictions. This group meets at 6:00 p.m. every Tuesday night.  The other, a Lawyer Wellbeing meeting, meets every Monday at 6:00 p.m.

Additionally, CLHL conducts a 6:00 p.m. support group meeting on Mondays at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in Boulder and a statewide, professionally facilitated “Virtual” Peer Support Group at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.  The Virtual Peer Support Group is conducted over a confidential telephone conference line.  It is particularly suited to law students and legal professionals who are unable to attend a meeting in the Denver Metro area.
