Elimination of Bias: Interrupting Stigma While Surviving and Thriving in Challenging Times
In the best of times, the legal profession is 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. This program will identify normal feelings, reactions, and behaviors, and recognize when they are cause for concern. It 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 cope and to thrive while developing and enhancing skills to identify and address individual needs.
