Building Balance: Self-Care Series
This drop-in series from the Attorney Well-Being Program offers a space to discuss the unique stressors faced by legal professionals. Following a loose agenda, the group will focus on participant needs and follow themes tailored to the group, as they arise. This series was created to establish a community of peer support related to building balance in the legal profession. The group is free and open to all members of the legal profession and will run on the final Wednesday of each month from 12pm-1pm March through October.
Each month group members will be encouraged to:
- Identify personalized goals
- Establish effective boundaries
