Overview

This course equips lawyers with practical knowledge and strategies to identify, prevent and manage burnout, ensuring sustainable wellbeing in a challenging profession. 

Lawyers are particularly susceptible to burnout due to demanding work, high levels of pressure and even higher expectations. The excessive and prolonged stress that many lawyers experience can lead to burnout - a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. This has a significant, negative impact on lawyers’ personal wellbeing and their ability to work effectively.

The good news is that burnout is preventable - and reversible. This course will equip you to recognise the early signs and symptoms of burnout, use practical strategies to reverse the impact of burnout, and build healthier habits to prioritise wellbeing, cultivate resilience and achieve a more balanced and fulfilling career in the law.
