Today’s CLE isn’t just about wellness: it’s about performance, risk, and the long-term sustainability of your practice. As part of
Wellness Month, this program examines the often-overlooked impact of secondary PTSD in the legal profession. A data-driven presentation highlights prevalence, symptoms, and real-world effects on
performance, relationships, and overall well-being—along with the downstream impact on productivity, turnover, and firm risk.
The session concludes with a moderated
discussion featuring mental health professionals and live, audience-driven Q&A, providing practical, real-world strategies attorneys can apply immediately.
