The Busy Lawyer’s Guide to Well-Being
The term “lawyer well-being” has gone mainstream in conversations on mental health in the profession. But what does lawyer well-being mean? What are the benefits? How can lawyers achieve a state of well-being?
The Busy Lawyer’s Guide to Well-Being introduces attorneys to the topic while addressing the confusion around what “well-being” really means. During the course, attorneys will learn how the high-stress legal profession can impact their mental and physical health, as well as some simple strategies to help manage their well-being.
