At Legal Talent Advisors we are devoted to providing education, coaching, and programs focused on attorney and staff wellness. Here are CLE approved programs aligned with the ABA Well-being Initiative. All programs are a minimum of 1 hour and can be extended to 75 or 90 minutes. The programs are interactive with exercises and activities whether presented online or in person.
The ABA Well-Being Campaign was launched to improve the substance use and mental health landscape of the legal profession, with an emphasis on helping legal employers support a healthy and sustainable work environment. The primary vehicle for the Campaign is a Pledge calling upon legal employers (including the judiciary, law firms, law schools, corporate entities, government agencies, and legal aid organizations) to: (a) recognize that substance use and mental health problems represent a significant challenge for the legal profession and acknowledge that more can and should be done to improve the health and well-being of those in the legal community (including judges, lawyers, staff, and students); and (b) support and prioritize the Pledge’s seven-point framework for building a better future.
Mindset for Happiness: Retrain your Brain
We’ve been taught to work hard and persist in reaching our goals, both personal and professional. But what about the pursuit of happiness?

The good news is we can be happy while we are working toward our goals, not just in their achievement.
In this session we will explore
Why we have unhappy thoughts
Different methods to reduce these thoughts
Ways to lift our mood
How to find happiness every day
