Treat Yourself: An Afternoon of Self-Care
wednesday, November 5, 2025 - beginning at noon
[2 hours profession responsibility - mental health cle credit approved]
How are you doing? Feeling stressed, drained, or maybe spread too thin? Then spend one afternoon working on your greatest non-dischargeable asset: yourself! You deserve it.
On November 5, 2025, starting at Noon, we will be hosting an event focused not only on helping you recharge for one day, but also on teaching you the skills to keep yourself refreshed on any hectic days to come. The event will begin with a luncheon. After lunch, we’ll dive into our first programs, “Mindful Attorney” and “Compassion Fatigue,” where we’ll learn all about caring for and maintaining mindfulness of our physical, mental, and emotional needs. We’ll be taking a mid-day break for complimentary meditation, and yoga sessions. During the break, we’ll have time to connect with friends and colleagues.
To cap off the event, we’ll end the afternoon with a social event and a healthy cooking session, complimented by wine and Horsd'oeuvres.
Know anyone else who could use a chance to refresh themselves? Invite them along too! The more the healthier. Whether it’s a coworker, an associate from a different office, or even a friend from a different field entirely, this event is open to everyone, since we all deserve a chance to treat ourselves.
Be your own bailiff and direct the course of your own self-care. You can be happier, and it can start when you sign up.
