Due to the demanding nature of the legal profession, many lawyers find themselves dealing with anxiety and burnout at some point in their careers. Achieving wellness and work-life balance involves many strategies to cope with stress and establish healthy personal and professional boundaries. Dr. Kissinger, director of counseling at Stephen's College, will focus on helping attendees realize that they can identify their own strengths and use them to achieve mindfulness and wellness in the profession.

• The notion of holistic wellness as conceptualized through the evidence-based Indivisible Self Model of Wellness.
• You will gain a more detailed understanding of your own wellness strengths and assets.
• You will gain an understanding of a range of wellness-based concepts (i.e., mindfulness) and interventions (i.e., breathing techniques).
