Mental Health/Substance Abuse Programs

Attorney Samantha Martin and mental performance consultant Danielle Beardsley provide strategies for addressing chronic stress and burnout that harms careers and deprives the profession of talented practitioners.

Join attorneys Becky Howlett and Cindy Sharp as they present strategies designed to help attorneys manage and even unplug from the digital world — ethically and mindfully — with special emphasis on MRPC 1.1, comment 8 (“benefits and risks associated with relevant technology”); MRPC 1.6, confidentiality; MRPC 1.3, diligence; and MRPC 8.4, professional misconduct.

Recognizing the demanding nature of the legal profession, this session provides proven techniques for eliminating toxic stress, balancing personal and professional priorities, and encouraging peak performance. This program educates legal professionals on the impact toxic stress has on the body and brain - resulting in detrimental consequences to health, wellness and job performance. It then provides participants with evidence-based strategies to lower stress, build resilience and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

In this presentation Paige Fox discusses the wellness crisis in the legal profession, the broader health crisis, physical fitness / exercise, mindfulness / meditation, frequencies / sound science, and nutrition / diet.
