Please join us for a free CLE program open to everyone in the legal profession.
The legal profession is known for its high-pressure environment, demanding hours and caseloads, and its adversarial nature. These stressors can chip away at a lawyer’s emotional and psychological health and can result in mental health issues, professional dissatisfaction, or turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. This course will provide insight into these challenges and discuss ways lawyers can positively manage stress and build resiliency.
This seminar will explore key factors contributing to stress, anxiety, and burnout, focusing on the pressures and expectations of litigation. It will highlight the importance of workplace support in fostering healthier work environments and promoting well-being among legal professionals. The discussion will also emphasize the role of civility and professionalism in reducing stress and improving professional relationships. Additionally, lawyers will learn the importance of being proactive in managing their mental health.
Finally, the presentation will provide strategies and guidance for attorneys and firms/offices to better equip themselves to handle professional and personal stressors and will provide information about pertinent resources, including Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (Minnesota’s lawyer assistance programs), EAPs and other supports available to assist attorneys and their staff with these complicated issues.
