Episode six of the Well-Being: A Deeper Dive is now available to listen to for FREE! In this episode, the State Bar of New Mexico's Professional Programs Group Director, Pamela Moore, moderates a discussion that includes Lawyer Assistance Program Manager Tenessa Eakins, Equity in Justice Director Dr. Amanda Parker and Professional Development Program Director Bill Slease. During this discussion, the PPG will go over the bevy of resources the PPG provides to State Bar Members and the way these programs support lawyers' day-to-day practice and their well-being in practice of law. The speakers will also provide a preview of the many educational programs and opportunities to connect they will offer at the 2023 Annual Meeting.
