9661 Minimizing the Impacts of Trauma in Legal Practice

Join us on Thursday, March 5, 2026 from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM for a timely and important discussion focused on attorney well-being.

 

The legal profession is demanding and often emotionally taxing, yet one of the biggest challenges many lawyers face is rarely discussed: trauma.

From difficult cases and client experiences to chronic stress and high expectations, attorneys frequently carry more emotional weight than they realize. Over time, this can affect mental health, job performance, and overall well-being.

​

In Minimizing the Impacts of Trauma in Legal Practice, John Lesko will explore how trauma shows up in daily legal work, why lawyers are especially vulnerable to mental health and substance use challenges, and what can be done to reduce these impacts.

​

What you’ll learn:

  • How trauma manifests in legal practice

  • Why attorneys are at higher risk for behavioral and mental health struggles

  • Practical strategies to build resilience and create a healthier, more sustainable career

​
