Food, sex, exercise – all may involve a variety of commonly enjoyed experiences that are healthy, essential parts of our lives. But when any of them become a major focus in your life, are difficult to control, and are disruptive or harmful to you or others, they may be considered part of a compulsive, disordered or addictive behavior. When enough is no longer enough?
No matter what it is called or the exact nature of the behavior, if it results in damage to self-esteem, relationships, career or your physical and/or mental health, you may need help to manage it.
Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism, addiction and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers. The real challenge is getting attorneys to ask for it!
Mr. Quinn will discuss:
The symptoms and causes of eating, sex and exercise disorders, including early warning signs. The physical, psychological and social impact of these disorders on the individual, their family members, co-workers and organizations/firms.
The role that education plays in breaking the stigma and fear associated with addiction and mental illness in the legal profession.
