Description :
Part I: Wendy Amengual Wark and Paula T. Edgar will share practical, tangible steps that individuals can take to successfully navigate the complexities of implicit bias, macroaggressions, intersectionality, difficult conversations, and best practices for creating inclusive workplace relationships. These proactive strategies apply to legal practitioners in all sectors, public and private, in-house, and law firms.
Part II: Recent research demonstrates that lawyers suffer from mental health and substance abuse problems at significantly higher rates compared to other professionals as well as the general population. Many of the stressful challenges lawyers face in the performance of their work can exacerbate a pre-existing condition. Undiagnosed and/or untreated problems can result in negative consequences affecting every area of a lawyer’s professional and personal life. Stigma is the number one obstacle preventing lawyers from getting the help they need to address a problem.
