Cracking the Stress Code & Building Resilience Through Caring & Connection
SCM attorney Andrew Morse and Executive Director of the Well-Being Committee with the Utah State Bar, Martha Knudson, presented a Utah State Bar Virtual CLE Webinar last week. Their presentation titled, “Cracking the Stress Code & Building Resilience Through Caring & Connection” took attorneys on a deep dive into the science of stress to help them better understand why developing resiliency works – specifically the skills of caring and connection. They applied the science to the real-world practice of law and life so attorneys can start using these tools today to help them build resilience as they enter the Coronavirus winter.
