Ethics CLE Without Leaving your Office!
Stress, Emotion and Mental Health: Strategies for Lawyers
Wednesday, April 25, noon - 1:00
There has been a lot of bad news about stress, substance abuse and mental health issues affecting lawyers in the last few years. Studies consistently show that lawyers are particularly at risk for developing problems, and that there is significant resistance to treatment, fearing professional repercussions. But there is some good news. The profession is taking note and the conversations that are now taking place will hopefully lead to positive and lasting change. Presented by Michael Merrigan.
