December 15: Mental Health, Well-Being and Implicit Bias in a Post-COVID Environment

Life and work during the COVID pandemic have been challenging for many people, including legal professionals. While a post-COVID world may seem distant right now, current circumstances give rise to unique stressors. As the profession adjusts to rapidly changing circumstances, those quick decisions we must make may be based on implicit biases and assumptions. The pandemic has affected people differently. For some, it exacerbated an underlying health or addiction issue. For others, a new problem developed. For many in our profession, stigma continues to prevent them from seeking the help they need. This program will address the profession's changing landscape, explore the effects of implicit bias and stigma, and offer perspectives and coping tools.
Date+Time:
December 15, 2022
Noon-1 p.m.
Speaker:
This month's CLE presenter is Attorney Joan Bibelhausen. Bibelhausen has served as executive director of Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers since 2005. Bibelhausen is nationally recognized for her work in the lawyer assistance and diversity and inclusion realms and has significant additional training in counseling, mental health and addiction, diversity, employment issues, and management.
