We believe it is even more critical to provide support for lawyers during the additional challenges that are being faced as a result of the pandemic.

We hope that the online courses and curated list of articles, checklists, and resources we have provided below will help you manage through this difficult time.

We are pleased to provide these wellness-related webinars (over a dozen hours of CPD) and resources at no cost.
