Presented by the Lawyer Well-Being Committee
About the Program
This program is designed for legal professionals seeking to mitigate the unique pressures of the field and forge a more sustainable career path. The legal profession, characterized by high stakes and constant demands, often fosters an "always on" culture that leads to stress and career dissatisfaction. This workshop offers a practical roadmap for creating and maintaining personal and professional limits to prevent overextension, protect your mental health, and enhance your overall effectiveness.
You Will Learn
- How to define what healthy boundaries are and explain their role in reducing burnout, emotional exhaustion, and overwhelm in legal practice
- How to identify signs of over-giving and people-pleasing behaviors that undermine professional performance and personal well-being
- How to develop clear strategies to set and uphold boundaries with clients, colleagues, and within oneself—such as establishing response times, clarifying scope of work, and managing weekly work hours
- How to create personalized boundaries that support mental health and self-care, including scheduling regular time for rest, leisure, and vacation
- How to establish limits around emotional labor in professional settings by managing how much personal information is shared or received in workplace relationships
- How to recognize the impact of over-responsibility and implement tools to shift focus back to personal values, priorities, and areas of influence
Who Should Attend
Attorneys interested in learning how to create professional, healthy and clear boundaries and strategies that support mental health.
