In the best of times, members of the legal profession are at risk for high levels of stress and mental health challenges. During challenging times, our professional and personal lives may seem out of control, and this can affect our work and relationships. Joan will identify normal feelings, reactions, and behaviors, and recognize when they are cause for concern, and will examine the role of stigma and bias in preventing us from asking for and accessing help for mental health issues. The program will also identify tools to help us cope and to thrive while developing and enhancing skills to identify and address our individual needs.
