Culture, Context, and Critical Hope: Considerations for Attorney Mental Wellbeing

Approved by The Florida Bar for 1.0 hour of General CLE credit including 1.0 hour of Mental Health and Wellness CLE credit.
DESCRIPTION
Attorneys are often perceived as high-functioning, confident, and intelligent individuals who are expected to solve problems all the time. It seems very rarely is consideration given to the individual who bears the professional title of “attorney.” Featured speaker Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson, aims to bring awareness and consideration to the individual who also happens to be an attorney. Dr. Vinson will talk about the specific challenges attorneys face and how they can take care of their mental health while still being great problem-solvers.
Learning Objectives:
• Encourage attorneys to reflect on the concept of trauma in the practice of law.
• Help attorneys identify situations with repeated exposure to traumatic events.
• Highlight practical strategies for managing the inherent stressors in the legal field.
This webinar is sponsored by The Florida Bar’s Standing Committee on Mental Health & Wellness of Florida Lawyers Education Subcommittee.
