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?
Has it really become an occupational hazard?
Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism, addiction, and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession.
The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers.
This presentation will cover topics such as the early warning signs of impairment, why lawyers and judges are at especially high risk to develop mental health and substance use disorders, the barriers that prevent them from seeking the help that they need, and ethical issues surrounding impairment in the legal profession.
