Event Description
Online registration for this program has closed.
To register or with questions, please contact Sarah Grundhoefer at sgrundhoefer@mnbars.org.
The primary focus of this program is to understand and demonstrate how
implicit bias discussions in the legal profession must include mental health
(including substance use) and stress issues. This program will begin with
a general understanding of the concept of implicit bias and discuss how implicit
bias stands in the way of lawyers seeking the help they need for mental health
and stress issues. While it’s hard for anyone to ask for help, there is a
double stigma for those already in underrepresented groups. This program
will address the challenges faced by lawyers, judges, and law students when
asking for help for mental health issues. It will also address the relationship
between mental health issues and diversity and inclusion. The program includes a
discussion of strategies to overcome these issues.
