presents

Improving Our Mental Health:
Sources, Signs, and Solutions

Wednesday, July 15, 4:00 - 5:00 PM PST
Mental health concerns – in the business world and amongst professional students – are on the rise. Once stigmatized, issues of mental health are being addressed in the workplace in meaningful ways. A dramatic increase in suicide rates and depression over the last few years, arising from typical work-related stress, an uncertain economy, challenged inter-personal relationships, and the increased isolation of COVID, make knowing how to help others – and help ourselves – a critical skill. This expert panel will discuss the pressures and expectations that adversely affect mental health, common symptoms of anguish, and tactics in approaching those who are depressed or are in turmoil. Finally, the panelists will suggest ideas for better coping with a high-pressure lifestyle in difficult times. 

USC Gould School of Law, a State Bar of California-approved provider, certifies that this activity qualifies for Minimum Continuing Legal Education credit in the amount of 1 hour, of which 1 hour applies to professional competence credit.
