Erin Clifford, partner at Clifford Law Offices and Corporate Wellness Consultant at Erin Clifford Wellness, spoke at an Illinois State Bar Association CLE Program on November 5, 2024. The seminar, titled “Mental Health 101: Strategies for Thriving, Not Just Surviving,” was a 1.0-hour MCLE credit in the Mental Health and Substance Abuse category.
Attorneys work long hours and manage multiple cases, all of which come with high mental demands, often leaving them feeling burnt out and running on fumes. The online seminar was intended to empower lawyers with ways to create a better work-life balance while still meeting their professional and personal goals.
Topics included:
- Positive strategies to enhance your self-care;
- How to practice mindful stress management;
- Tactics for building your resilience and mental fitness and
- How to find your perfect mental health space.
Courtney A. Berlin, associate at Clifford Law Offices and Illinois State Bar Association Young Lawyers committee member, joined Erin’s seminar as the Program Chat Moderator.
