Abstract	Advocacy is crucial for driving social change, yet it carries significant mental health challenges for those involved. This article explores the psychological impacts on advocates, including emotional labour, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. It also examines how financial stress, family dynamics, and a constant focus on negativity affect advocates' personal lives. By understanding these challenges, advocates can adopt effective self-care strategies to sustain their important work. Lawyers face in their professional lives is undeniable. A lawyer, often immersed in the pursuit of justice, must not forget the importance of self-care and emotional well-being- Justice D.Y. Chandrachud.
