“So, I have this Friend...” Recognizing the Stigma and Normalizing the Conversations about Substance Use Disorder, Mental Health, Stress, and Work-Life Balance
Originally Recorded: Aug 14, 2024
Description: Legal professionals are exposed to experiences that can lead to higher stress and greater consequences than those in many other careers. There is a clearly recognized continuum where unresolved chronic stress becomes a predictor for substance use problems and mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. By understanding this continuum, and the facts about addiction and mental illness, lawyers can reduce their risk and, hopefully, get help earlier. By knowing these risks, we can also support each other. This program will present signs, symptoms, risk factors, and recovery regarding these challenges, as well as well-being tools.
