The high rates of stress and anxiety experienced by members of the legal profession are well documented, with the culture of overwork and stress often beginning in law school.

Law students and lawyers are often motivated to engage in social justice work because they care – but this same quality can leave them open to higher rates of experiencing vicarious trauma and burnout. So what can we do to make sure we have the support systems in place to ensure we can bring about meaningful change for the better?

The HR Community & PILN are proud to host Katie Robertson (she/her) and Amelia Walters (she/her) who bring together two diverse yet complementary perspectives on mental wellbeing in the law and will provide real world examples and practical tips for equipping future human rights lawyers to be their best.

Bring your lunch along THIS TUESDAY (9th April) 1-2PM and to join this urgent conversation about wellbeing in human rights law spaces.
