Last fall I recorded a talk on Sustainable Success, produced by Continuing Education of the Bar. It was directed at lawyers, who often wonder if being successful means having to give up their health, personal and family life. Given the high rates of substance abuse, depression, and suicide within the profession, this is a real issue.
It is no accident that so many jurisdictions — including California — mandate continuing legal education on substance abuse and mental wellness.
Unfortunately, the CA State Bar recently determined it did not meet the qualifications to be offered for CLE credit.
The good news is that CEB has decided to make it available free of charge.
So while I’m disappointed in the State Bar’s decision, I’m thrilled that CEB supports this program and is making Sustainable Success: Mindfulness for Lawyers even more accessible.
This is good news.
And there’s more.
Because ordinarily, these programs are only available to California attorneys — people with California State Bar numbers.
But my contact at CEB says that law students can also access the program for free. They just need to contact Customer Service: 800-232-3444 or 510-302-2000 or emailcustomer_service@ceb.ucla.edu
So if you’re not a member of the California State Bar, and you want to check out this program, you can can. For free. Thanks to CEB’s commitment to supporting the legal community.
Here’s a link to the full program description on CEB’s website.
If there’s a law student or attorney in your life, share this with them. You never know what difference it could make.
