Lawyers are exposed to experiences that can
lead to higher stress and greater consequences than those in many other careers.
There is a clearly recognized continuum where unresolved chronic stress becomes
a predictor for substance use problems and mental illness, particularly
depression and anxiety. By understanding this continuum and the facts
about addiction and mental illness, lawyers can reduce their risk and,
hopefully, get help earlier when there is a mental health, substance use, or
related problem. This program will present signs, symptoms, risk factors,
and recovery regarding these challenges. The presenter will also provide
personal examples and information on Minnesota’s lawyer assistance
program.
This CLE is approved for credit through February 27,
2026.
