Care for Yourself: Mental Wellness & Substance Awareness for Lawyers | Live Webinar + On-Demand Course Access
The legal profession is often marked by high stress, long hours, and intense client demands—factors that can take a significant toll on lawyers’ mental health and overall well-being. Without proper support and awareness, these pressures may lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, and substance use issues that can affect both personal and professional performance. In this CLE webinar, Dan Lukasik, a trial lawyer with over 30 years’ experience, a law professor, and a mental health advocate who has given hundreds of presentations at law conferences, law schools, judicial conferences, and corporations throughout the U.S., will discuss his own diagnosis of anxiety and depression, how he learned to cope, and how law firms and others can support legal professionals in coping with mental health challenges and substance abuse problems. Dan will provide a timely and practical discussion on promoting mental wellness and addressing substance-related risks in the legal field.
This program will explore how to recognize early warning signs, implement effective coping strategies, and foster a culture of support within legal organizations. Dan will also examine ethical and professional responsibility considerations, including confidentiality and the duty to maintain competence.
