Lawyer Well-Being Week – Take a Few Minutes Each Day to Focus on You

The Idaho State Bar Attorney Well-Being Task Force invites you to celebrate Lawyer Well-Being Week, May 4th through May 8th. Join other members of the profession, the courts and support staff by participating in these free remote-friendly activities.

We will focus on a different aspect of well-being Monday through Friday. Every day you will have at least three different suggestions for activities and education. This “well- rounded” wheel shows the well-being emphasis for each day of the week. There is something for everyone!

Click on the days of the week for specific activities including something to watch, something to read and something to do that is focused on an element of well-being for each day.

Thank you to the National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being for leading the effort to raise awareness of the importance of well-being for all. For additional information, resources, and activities, please visit the National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being website.
