Winston observed Well-Being Week in Law this year throughout the entire month of May.

October 10 is World Mental Health Day, an opportunity to reassess our own mental health needs and check in with friends and family. This year, acknowledging our psychological wellbeing is particularly important as we struggle with increased challenges caused by COVID-19 and physical distancing, as well as daily political and social unrest.  

Calling all Winston employees! June 1st marks the beginning of WinSTRIDE 2020, an annual steps challenge organized by Well at Winston. In this friendly competition, our employees are grouped by office to see which location can take the most average steps over the course of a month. You can also race to the top of the personal leaderboard by having the highest number of total steps for an individual.

Today marks the beginning Winston’s participation in Lawyer Well-Being Week. This five-day series of programs aligns with Mental Health Awareness Month to incite positive changes in the day-to-day operations of our Lawyers and their support staff.
