Building Resilience and Preventing Burnout for Women in Law

Attorneys and law students, especially women and LGBTQ+ individuals, are experiencing alarming rates of anxiety, depression, and substance use that have impacts on our professional and personal lives.

Join us for our second Well-being Conference, highlighting leadership, education, and connection to further advance our well-being and to support the national lawyer well-being movement.

This in-person, one-day event includes substantive panels with short connection-oriented experiences in between. We will also have well-being professionals present for attendees to interact with during our breaks. Zoom registration is also available.

The conference is perfect for individuals, women’s affinity groups, law students, mental health groups and professionals, lawyer well-being professionals, and our allies.
