Wellness Conference 2019
Balancing the Scales of Work and Wellness-
Finding Joy through Self-Care Practical Advice & Wellness Strategies

Friday, September 13, 2019 | City County Building- (Main & Small Assembly Rooms)

 

RESOURCES

The KBA’s Wellness Conference was initiated by the publishing of the American Bar Association Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation study that found lawyers, particularly younger lawyers in the first ten years of their practice, are grappling with serious barriers to well-being. According to the report between 21 and 36 percent of lawyers in the study qualify as problem drinkers and 28 percent are struggling with some level of depression. Suicide, social alienation, work addiction, sleep deprivation, job dissatisfaction, a diversity crisis, work-life conflict, incivility, a narrowing of values so that profit predominates, and negative public perception were all cited as major difficulties lawyers are facing.

QPR stands for
Question, Persuade, and Refer
-- 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. QPR is not intended to be a form of counseling or treatment. QPR is intended to offer hope through positive action.




When you apply QPR, you plant the seeds of hope. Hope helps prevent a suicide.You have to take care of yourself to be a lifeguard! 

Learn more from Amy Dolinsky, the East Tennessee Regional Coordinator of the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (tspn.org).
