Delaware Lawyers Assistance Program (DE-LAP)

The Delaware Lawyers Assistance Program (De-LAP) was created to confidentially to assist judges and lawyers with substance abuse/dependence and/or mental and physical health problems.  Click here for more information.

De-LAP’s mission is to provide confidential assistance to judges and lawyers to help them identify and address problems such as depression, stress, substance abuse/dependence, gambling addiction and other illnesses and to assist them in developing effective solutions that culminate in a workplace atmosphere that encourages professional growth, excellence and maintains the integrity of the legal profession.

The De-LAP program provides a confidential, free, non-disciplinary way for Delaware’s judges and lawyers to seek appropriate help for problems before they sabotage an individual’s career and/or quality of life.  Referrals are confidential.  Any legal professional who seeks assistance as a self-referral can be assured that his/her information will be held in the strictest of confidence.  Similarly, those who are concerned about a co-worker, peer or other legal professional are guaranteed the same confidentiality.
