Missouri Lawyers Assistance Program (MOLAP)


The Missouri Lawyers Assistance Program is a professional, confidential counseling program for members of The Missouri Bar, their families, and law students. Through a variety of free services, MOLAP helps individuals overcome personal problems such as depression, substance abuse, stress, and burnout.

Services include:

  • Counseling. All Bar members have unlimited, 24/7 access by phone to a professional counselor (call 1-800-688-7859). MOLAP also makes referrals to professional resources when necessary.
  • Interventions. Professional counselors conduct interventions around substance abuse and other addictions. We also offer intervention training.
  • Crisis intervention. MOLAP coordinates crisis intervention services for individuals and law firms.
  • Education. MOLAP offers educational programs and articles on topics such as stress, substance abuse, depression, and quality of life. In addition, a series of questionnaires help members screen themselves for a variety of problems.

All MOLAP services are free of charge and strictly confidential. A program of The Missouri Bar, MOLAP is partially funded by The Bar Plan Mutual Insurance Company.
