Shelter In Place Institute: Emotional and Social Intelligence for Lawyer Wellbeing
The epidemic of stress and burnout is affecting every sector of our society, but even more so the legal profession. A study by the American Bar Association found that over 25% of lawyers suffer from depression, 21% have a drinking problem, and 19% experience anxiety. Burnout and mental distress not only take a toll on the wellbeing of lawyers, but also make their clients, people, and businesses vulnerable, impairing decision-making, problem-solving, and risk management.
Drawing upon contemporary neuroscience, spiritual wisdom and creative practices, this interactive course sheds light on the inner workings of the emotional brain, and teaches frameworks and practical techniques to boost emotional and social intelligence – critical dimensions of human wellbeing. Through a combination of lecture, exercises, and experiential activities, it engages participants to develop their own actionable strategies to incorporate the learnings in daily life, for emotional regulation, mind/body rejuvenation, and improved relationship with both oneself and others, as well as sustainable productivity and personal growth.
Topics may include: Self-awareness as a life skill Recognizing and regulating emotions Direct experience - senses, mindfulness and emotional wellbeing Healthy Mind Platter and 7 essential mental activities Emotional factors in decision-making Key ingredients of social intelligence Threat vs. reward in social interactions Authentic and effective communication
