About the Seminar
In this one-hour presentation participants will review psychological traits, habits, and thought patterns of lawyers, as well as some of the challenges within the profession, that lead to high rates of mental illnesses and other stress-related problems. Participants will learn the challenges that people experience during times of crisis, particularly COVID-19, how those challenges affect various vulnerable populations, and consider how those challenges relate to lawyers and lawyering.
Participants will learn qualities of psychological resilience, which have been identified as factors in improving mental health outcomes and in helping people endure, and even thrive, through difficult circumstances.
