Overcoming Substance Abuse in the Legal Profession (10/24/22)

Legal professionals are particularly vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. The demanding nature of the legal profession can render lawyers and law students feeling isolated, alone, and desperate for relief through drugs and alcohol. The goal of the Overcoming Substance Abuse in the Legal Profession seminar is to inform legal professionals of the effects of substance abuse throughout the profession. Join us to discuss the causes of substance abuse in the legal profession and learn about resources available to those struggling with substance abuse. Please note: This program will be offered as a live webcast only (no archived version will be made available).

Presenter: 
Joe Scally, Illinois Lawyers’ Assistance Program
