Are you registered for tomorrow’s FREE CLE??

We have put together an excellent opportunity for you to earn 1 hour of CLE credit for FREE!!

On October 11, 2022, at noon, over zoom, the Lawyers’ Assistance Program (LAP) and Dr. Diana Uchiyama will present “The Jaded Lawyer”.

Recent studies have confirmed that the overwhelming stress that is commonplace in our legal profession disproportionately results in attorneys suffering higher levels of depression, anxiety, substance use, burnout, cognitive problems, addiction, and other serious issues at rates much higher than those seen in the general population. While changing the nature of the legal profession is likely to be a slow process, individuals have the capacity to make small changes that have been scientifically shown to mitigate the negative impact of stress, reducing the likelihood of compassion fatigue and burnout. Participants in this program will learn:
• What Compassion Fatigue and Burnout are;
• The signs and symptoms of Compassion Fatigue and Burnout;
• What factors make lawyers particularly vulnerable to Compassion Fatigue and Burnout; and
• Best practices for prevention of Compassion Fatigue and Burnout.
This CLE has been pre-approved by the Illinois MCLE board for one CLE credit!!

Please email [email protected] with your name and ARDC # to register. Once registered, zoom link and materials will be forwarded to you!!
