The Illinois Bar Association announced on May 21 that it will offer a live webcast titled “Resilience and Emotional Skills for Overloaded Professionals” on June 17 from 1:00 to 2:05 p.m. The session provides one hour of continuing legal education credit, including mental health and substance abuse credit, pending approval.
The event aims to help legal professionals address the challenges of high-pressure work environments by offering tools to overcome internal barriers. Organizers say the program will examine the impact of perfectionism in legal practice, exploring how striving for unattainable standards can lead to self-doubt and inefficiency. The session also promises a practical framework for emotion regulation and strategies for managing stress, with the goal of building lasting resilience.
Attendees are expected to gain actionable strategies that support sustainable careers in law. The Illinois Bar Association supports Illinois lawyers by providing continuing legal education, practice management resources, and professional networking opportunities, according to the official website. The association serves more than 28,000 members and operates under an elected president as well as a Board of Governors and an Assembly.
The organization promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion among attorneys across the state while recognizing excellence through awards for pro bono service and diversity leadership. Its administrative and educational operations are based at the Illinois Bar Center, according to the official website.
Registration information is available online for those interested in attending this webcast.
