This CLE will present an overview of the importance of wellness and how lawyers can use technology to improve mental health.

The presenter will begin with an overview of the research regarding the impact of technology and social media on our mental health, including a discussion of key considerations for lawyers. The presenter will then cover more in-depth content on key areas (mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and music) where technology can be an effective tool to help lawyers focus on self-care, wellness, and improving their mental health.
