National Conference of Bar Presidents 2022: The Well-Being Playing Field

Promoting lawyer wellness is critical to the future of the profession, and bar associations are uniquely positioned to affect culture change within their communities. From the NCBP Virtual Midyear Meeting, Robin Wolpert hosts Bree Buchanan and Chris Newbold to discuss what bar leaders can do to support wellness efforts and help legal professionals prioritize both physical and mental health. As Board members for the Institute for Well-Being in the Law (IWIL), they also offer that IWIL can assist bar organizations -- free of charge -- to set up their wellness programs.
