Heidi Alexander, Director, MA Supreme Judicial Court Standing Committee on Lawyer Well-Being
According to a recent analysis by the Washington Post using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, being a lawyer is the most stressful job in the United States. It’s no wonder rates of burnout, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts are off the charts and attorneys are leaving the profession in record numbers. Is it possible for attorneys to thrive? And, if so, how? This talk will present the current state of well-being in law and the movement underway to make change in the profession. There are reasons to be optimistic about the future and how you can play a role in it.
