If there is one phrase, we continue to hear more than any other term as we navigate through our post-pandemic “new normal” world, it is “stressed out.”
But what is stress? What does it look like and feel like? More importantly, what can we do to prevent the normal stress and “lawyer anxiety” so common in our profession from developing into the physically and emotionally draining state known as Burnout? Has it really become an occupational hazard?
Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism, addiction and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers.

2. Why lawyers and judges are at especially high risk to develop mental health and substance use disorders.
3. The free services that Lawyers Assistance Programs provide to lawyers, judges, their family members and law students.
4. The barriers that prevent lawyers and judges from seeking the help they need.
