THE REAL DEAL ABOUT STRESS, IMPAIRMENT, AND LEGAL ORGANIZATIONS

Speaker: Joan Bibelhausen, Executive Director, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers

Stress is a fact of life.  Our responses to the daily challenges we face at work and at home determine our levels of stress and the effect it has on our thinking, performance, productivity, mental health, and well-being.  It is not a secret that being a lawyer can result in a lot of stress. The most recent research from the ABA confirms that stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse among attorneys, judges, and law students is significantly greater than the general population.

This program will help law firms recognize when something is wrong and offer options to respond and support the lawyer.  It will also provide examples of ways to create an environment that supports well-being and reduces risk. Further, attendees will learn about the recommendations for employers from the ABA’s report, “The Path to Lawyer Well-Being: Practical Recommendations for Positive Change.”  Knowing how to identify these problems and institute well-being practices is not only cost-effective, but also reduces risk for professional misconduct and could help save a life.
