SUMMARY:Understanding Lawyers and Substance Abuse CLE
DESCRIPTION:A recent national landmark ABA study on attorney mental health is the first to ever bring into sharp focus\, with hard data and real numbers\, the impact alcohol/drug abuse and other mental health issues are having on this profession.   The research indicated that lawyers have a high rate of substance abuse at approximately twice the rate of the general population\, as well as high rates of depression and anxiety.  This presentation seeks to improve the understanding of substance abuse and the dynamics of addiction\, and the susceptibility of lawyers to this disorder.  Accurate information will be provided about the neurological nature of substance abuse/addiction\, including the development\, symptomology\, and the impact on behavior.  Guidance and suggestions for dealing with a substance use disorder in themselves or another lawyer will also be provided. \nGoals and Objectives:\n1. Define and clarify substance abuse/addiction\, alleviating misconceptions and misinformation.\n2. Discuss neurological factors involved in substance abuse/addiction.\n3. Explore reasons why lawyers are susceptible to substance abuse/addiction.\n4. Discuss the impact of substance abuse specifically on lawyers.\n5. Provide guidance and resources for the prevention and treatment of substance abuse. \nBio:\nCathy Killian is the Clinical Director and Western Clinical Coordinator for the North Carolina Lawyer Assistance Program\, and has been a counselor in the Charlotte area for over 25 years.
