Test Negative, Stay Positive; Learning to Cope with Stress in the Age of COVID-19

What draws law professionals to the field is that they are often are helpers. They solve problems, come up with solutions, and guide others through major upheavals and challenges. However, the impact of the pandemic and now the return to a “new normal” has created feelings of helplessness, confusion, and emotional distress among the entire population, and law professionals are not exempt from these stressors. As a profession, lawyers and legal professionals are even more vulnerable to mental health and substance abuse difficulties than the general population due to the challenging nature of their work, and these preexisting issues are exacerbated during these extraordinary times.
