Description
In an age of increasing division and heightened polarization, navigating conflicts has become more challenging than ever. This presentation explores the profound impact of societal polarization on mental health and offers strategies to foster constructive communication and emotional resilience in the legal profession.
We will examine the psychological toll of constant tension, the role of empathy in de-escalating conflicts, and practical techniques to maintain mental well-being as a lawyer while engaging in difficult conversations. Participants will learn how to build bridges across divides, manage stress in polarized environments, and cultivate healthier relationships in personal, professional, and community contexts.
Participants will learn:
- How a polarized “us vs them” mentality impacts the brain.
- The repercussions of heightened polarization on lawyer mental health.
- Tools and techniques to manage the increased stress that accompanies increasing polarity in our community.
