A program hosted by:
ACC WisconsinPlease join us Monday, November 14, 2022 for our November Wellness Webinar: Burnout. Recognition and Prevention Strategies for Attorneys. Presented by, Atty. Brian S. Quinn, Education and Outreach Coordinator, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Inc.
If there is one word we heard during our journey through the pandemic and continue to hear more than any other term as we navigate into the Post-COVID “new normal” world, it is “BURNOUT”
But what is burnout? What does it look like and feel like? More importantly, what can we do to prevent the normal stress and “lawyer anxiety” so common in our profession from developing into the physically and emotionally draining state known as Burnout?
This program will cover the following:
• Early warning signs of stress and burnout.
• Symptoms of stress and burnout that are particularly prevalent among members of the legal profession
• Discussion will include the basic stress reactions, both physical and psychological; the difference between healthy stress and distress, with emphasis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Guidelines for a “master plan”, including realistic prevention strategies that work.
• Why lawyers are at especially high risk to develop mental health and substance use disorders.
• What resources are there for Attorneys
