Lawyers were already struggling with stress and burnout, and the pandemic has only made things worse. A recent survey unearthed this disturbing statistic: When asked if the pandemic has made their mental health worse, 70 percent of attorneys responded with a resounding, “yes.” That’s why it is critical for the in-house counsel to prioritize their mental health---just as they would prioritize a major work initiative. This course provides much needed guidance for building a plan that will result in the reduction of stress and an increase in resiliency.
