Well-Being Your Way (10/22/26)

Well-Being Your Way—Personalized Stress Management Strategies that Fit Your Practice

Recent studies of well-being among lawyers, judges, and law students illustrate that high levels of stress and burnout remain persistent issues for large swaths of the legal profession.  Join the CBA’s Featured Well-Being Coach, Jonathan Beitner, for an interactive workshop where you will identify and begin implementing personalized self-care strategies.  These well-being blueprints will track the six dimensions of well-being (emotional, social, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and occupational) and will be tailored to fit into your day-to-day routines at work and at home.  

In this session you will:
-- Learn about recent surveys of well-being in the legal profession;
-- Gain a greater understanding of the various dimensions of well-being and common challenges associated with them, and techniques for bolstering each dimension; 
-- Self-assess which dimensions you are doing well in and which may need some attention; and
-- Identify personal goals for improving any dimensions in which you are not thriving as well as self-care strategies to implement into your daily routines.
