High-Performing and Highly Stressed: How Attorneys Can Prioritize Mental Health
Attorneys are constantly working. Many are not sleeping or taking care of their health and feel the need to be perfect or at least excellent at all times in all areas of life: as employees, colleagues, parents, friends, children, and even acquaintances.
In this one-hour CLE, Kara Hardin, a mental health educator, registered psychotherapist, and former practicing corporate and securities lawyer, explores the complicated relationship between the lifestyle lawyers lead and their mental health.

As a result of taking this course, attorneys will:
- Understand the complicated relationship between the lifestyle lawyers lead and their mental health.
- Develop strategies to manage your mental health.
- Learn how to balance your well-being and the high-performance expectations in the legal profession.
