Upcoming CLEs

The Attorney General's Office is hosting Continuing Legal Education (CLEs). Pre-registration is required.

Mental Health with a Focus on Trauma in the Legal Profession and in the Practice of Law

Date: Thursday, May 22, 2025
Time: 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Format: Live Webinar (virtual)
Location: Online via WebEx
Description: Legal professionals are exposed to experiences that can lead to higher stress and greater consequences than those in many other careers. Individual and societal circumstances may exacerbate the stress and the impact of traumatic exposure. There is a clearly recognized continuum where unresolved chronic stress becomes a predictor for substance use problems and mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. By understanding this continuum, the impact of our exposure to trauma, and the facts about addiction and mental illness, lawyers can reduce their risk and, hopefully, get help earlier when there is a mental health, substance use, or related problem.
Speaker(s): Joan Bibelhausen, Executive Director Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers
CLE Credit: The Office will apply for the new Mental Health credit for this program.
