“I’m very committed to my own mental health. I see my own personal therapist I have for years… She’s been such a godsend for me. I am thankful that I had that before the pandemic but goodness knows, I would’ve gone out and found somebody if I hadn’t.” – President Elizabeth Fite On this week’s podcast, Lynn Garson, chair of the Lawyer Assistance Program Committee, interviews State Bar of Georgia President Elizabeth L.
