In the months since the Coronavirus emerged, our lives have been disrupted in unimaginable ways. It is normal to feel fear and uncertainty. Concerns for our health and the health of our loved ones, disruptions to routines, homeschooling children while working from home, and
worry about the impact on personal finances – these are just a few ways we have been impacted by COVID-19. As we navigate this unprecedented crisis, it is imperative that we tend to our mental well-being, in addition to our physical health. Regardless of your specific circumstances, it is likely that you are wondering how to cope with the stress, anxiety, and other feelings that are surfacing.

During this webinar, we will discuss and take questions concerning:

· Tips, tricks, and techniques for legal professionals to manage stress
· Exercises, breathing techniques, and ideas to help you maintain energy and reduce the flow of anxious thoughts throughout the day
· How to recognize signs of anxiety and depression, and clinical ways to deal with it
· Tools to cope with the emotional impact of fear, uncertainty, and isolation
· How to create a sense of calm and focus during a time of crisis.
