Interactive Screening Program Designed for Legal Professionals

The Kentucky Legal Professionals’ Interactive Screening Program (KLP-ISP) is an evidence-based, online screening program that identifies people at risk of suicide and provides a safe and secure method for individuals to anonymously and proactively connect to peer and clinical support before crises emerge. Kentucky is proud to offer this new screening tool, which is the first of its kind in the country targeted specifically to legal professionals.

As part of a partnership with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Kentucky Lawyer Assistance Program will offer ISP for all legal professionals as defined in SCR 3.910 (all Kentucky law students, lawyers, and judges). You can anonymously take a brief screening for stress, depression, burnout, and other mental health concerns and receive a personalized response to your questionnaire from a licensed mental health professional.
