We often think of well-being as an individual problem, solvable with simple fixes such as doing more yoga, drinking more water, getting more rest, and setting boundaries. Yet the research continues to show that personal solutions are not enough to combat the systemic, structural, and cultural elements of the legal profession that keep people unwell. If lawyers don’t take care of each other… who will?

The responsibility for driving well-being change in the legal profession is on all of us. Incorporating actionable and replicable goals and strategies to drive true culture change, this presentation will explore how a community-based approach to lawyer well-being can remove the often artificial, unnecessary, and outmoded barriers that prevent legal professionals from being able to perform at their best.
