SUMMARY:Senior Partners for Justice Mentoring Chat with Tracy Meyers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an important conversation with Tracey Meyers! Test Negative\, Stay Positive; Learning to Cope with Stress in the age of Covid-19.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nTest Negative\, Stay Positive; Learning to Cope with Stress in the age of Covid 19.\nWhat 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. \nThis interactive webinar focuses on developing a toolkit for wellbeing in and out of the workplace to manage stress including: \nHow lawyers are coping during the age of covid-19. \nLearn about the impact of stress on professional satisfaction \nRecognize the signs and symptoms of distress in colleagues and oneself. \nDevelop a robust tool kit for wellbeing in and out of the workplace. \nCreate a compassionate workplace \nLearn about resources that are available to help \nA short bio of Tracey Meyers\nDr. Tracey Meyers a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts\, Connecticut\, and New York. She joined LCL in August of 2020 following her work for the State of Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services where she spent over 15 years working as a clinical neuropsychologist and most recently as the director of behavioral intervention services for inpatient services.   Tracey has a strong commitment to integrative medicine for mental health and wellness and leads mindfulness and yoga programs for groups\, individuals\, and professionals in the workplace. \nClick HERE to register for this event

SUMMARY:Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Basics Training sponsored by CLA and MWLS
DESCRIPTION:During these unprecedented times\, your skills as an attorney are needed more than ever.  Although Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on everyone’s lives\, those who live below the poverty level have been hit the hardest\, particularly for those who have suffered a loss of income and increased debt.  It is anticipated by experts that the number of bankruptcy filings will substantially increase in the wake of the pandemic\, so your volunteerism is especially crucial now. \nTo help meet this need\, MetroWest Legal Services (MWLS) and Community Legal Aid (CLA) have teamed together to offer a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Basics Training for volunteer attorneys.  This two-part training will provide you with the building blocks of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy laws and procedures\, and allow you to deepen your skills for your private practice and pro bono cases. Please join us and become part of the response effort to help lessen the financial impact of the pandemic on our most vulnerable community members. \nCOST OF TRAINING:  Your COMMITMENT to accept at least two (2) Pro Bono Chapter 7 cases for low income clients of CLA or MWLS in the coming year.
