SUMMARY:Help for Colleagues in Crisis  CLE # 546556
DESCRIPTION:Mental health and addiction issues are a serious problem in the legal profession. Stigma about these conditions stands in the way of asking for or offering help. This program is designed for colleagues and managers who may observe changes in behavior that give rise to concerns. It discusses how to recognize and obtain help when you\, a work colleague\, or another professional colleague may have a substance use\, mental health\, or other issue that affects behavior\, conduct\, and performance. Topics include understanding the issues\, special considerations for remote work\, approaching the lawyer (including interventions)\, arranging assistance such as treatment\, and practice management issues during and following a reduced work schedule or leave of absence. Colleagues can save careers\, families\, and lives by taking action. This course is designed to educate attorneys to identify colleagues who may be suffering from chemical health or mental health related impairment. By educating attorneys about the misconceptions surrounding chemical health and mental health issues\, they will be better positioned to eliminate barriers to hiring\, retention\, professional development\, and full participation of attorneys disabled by chemical or mental health issues.

SUMMARY:Trauma‑Informed Lawyering as Bias Reduction\, Applying Empathy to Reduce Bias in Legal Practice (CLE #548735)(Approved for one Elimination of Bias Credit)
DESCRIPTION:A history of trauma can have long term consequences that affect the way individuals communicate\, remember events\, carry themselves\, interact with their attorneys and appear as witnesses. This CLE explores how our role as attorneys requires that we learn to decipher ambiguous behavior and ask compassionate and understanding questions of these clients. We will explore trauma informed interviewing procedures to adopt practices that make space for our clients to tell their stories and feel heard. We will also discuss bias that can show up during the intake process\, case development\, and trial strategy. Finally\, we’ll help participants understand how their ethical obligations require them to understand and employ trauma-informed practices as part of their professional competency and in doing so\, avoid further harm to their clients.

SUMMARY:Ethical Dangers of Isolation (CLE #549376)(Approved for one ethics credit)
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness and isolation present an urgent public health challenge\, prompting the U.S. Surgeon General to issue a public health advisory to urge the nation’s immediate awareness and action.  As lawyers\, we have been identified as the loneliest workers in America\, and our isolation presents a significant risk to our mental and physical health and our ability to conform to our professional obligations.  This program explores some of the causes and effects of isolation\, the impact on our professional responsibilities\, and ways we can address both causes and effects of isolation by building a culture of connection and mutual care in the legal profession.  (One Minnesota Ethics Credit sought) Free registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/U0aEzN14R0S90fAIRNUOnw
