Are you a Minnesota attorney or other legal professional who is considering a career or position change? Do you want to dig into a possible career shift with purpose and guidance? If so, join Patty Devoy at Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Minnesota for this well-planned Career Transitions Workshop on Saturday, November 7 from 9:00-11:30.

Together, Patty will move you beyond surface-level questions like “What should I do next?” and dig into the more meaningful—and often overlooked—considerations that lead to better decisions and more sustainable career paths.

During this workshop, you will:

• Reflect on where you are now and identify what’s truly driving your desire for change

• Clarify the direction you think you want to go—and why

• Explore your core values, strengths, interests, sources of energy and stress, and ideal clients/work environments

• Define what success means to you (rather than what it’s “supposed” to look like)

• Evaluate whether your potential next step truly aligns with who you are and what you want

You will also learn practical tips for how to support yourself during periods of transition.

This workshop is not about quick answers or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about creating dedicated space to think deeply, ask better questions, and leave with greater clarity and confidence in your next move. Participants will also have access to both 1:1 follow‑up support and ongoing group support after the workshop.

Grief is not a problem that needs to be solved. Sometimes we feel both internal and external pressure to just "get past it." The effort to hurry through our grief can actually prolong it. If you are presently living in a life after a loss, be kind to yourself. Give your grief space to be acknowledged. And if you need someone to hear you, to validate your loss and to normalize your difficult emotions, LCL is just a call away. (651) 646-5590

The Grieving Attorney: How to Navigate Loss Without Losing Your Way

CLE # 554297554 (One MN CLE ethics credit sought)

October 6, 12:00-1:00 p.m. by zoom

As lawyers, we help others navigate some of life's most difficult moments. But we are not immune to those challenges ourselves.

Grief can come from many kinds of loss: the death of a loved one, a divorce, a health diagnosis, a career change, or other significant life transitions. These experiences can affect every part of our lives, including our ability to meet the professional responsibilities our clients depend on.

Join us for a thoughtful CLE examining grief through both a human and ethical lens. We'll discuss the grief journey, the unique ways lawyers experience loss, and practical strategies for honoring our grief while continuing to serve our clients ethically and responsibly. (Presenter, Sarah MacGillis, J.D.). Free Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/SRQPSBkzRf6LFInco0Y5gA

There is something comforting about this time of year in Minnesota. The air hints at fall, but the familiar greens are still holding on. It feels like a season caught between where it has been and where it is going. Many of us find ourselves in that same place from time to time.

If you are navigating challenges, uncertainty, or simply feeling stretched thin, be gentle with yourself this weekend. If rest is needed, indulge in an early bedtime or a mid-day nap. If you need time with your people, schedule a walk or a coffee to get that necessary connection. If you need time in nature, get to one of the local, county, or state parks that have been thankfully preserved as public space.

And if you need something more, know that LCL is always here and always ready to listen.

September is National Recovery Month, and this year's theme, "Recovery is REAL: Restoring Every Aspect of Life."

In this thoughtful blog post, Jon Tynjala shares a personal recovery journey alongside reflections on the ABA's latest national study of lawyer mental health and well-being. The findings reveal concerning levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout within the legal profession, while also reminding us of an important truth: help works, recovery is possible, and no one has to struggle alone.

We invite you to read and reflect. https://mnlcl.org/blog/recovery-is-real-by-jon-tynjala-executive-director/ And remember, if you or someone you are working with in the legal profession is struggling, we can help.

Please join LCL for "Moral Injury in the Legal Profession: Naming Harm, Interrupting Shame, and Cultivating Healing"

Wednesday, September 16, 12:00-1:00 p.m.

This free one-hour CLE examines moral injury as a significant and increasingly recognized contributor to mental health challenges in the legal profession. Moral injury arises when lawyers are repeatedly exposed to, participate in, or are constrained by professional roles and legal systems that produce outcomes in conflict with their deeply held moral, ethical, or professional values.

Throughout the program, participants will learn to recognize signs of moral distress and potential impairment in themselves and colleagues, understand how unaddressed moral injury can elevate mental health risks, and explore approaches to healing that do not rely solely on individual resilience.

Presented by Professor Natalie Netzel, JD, MSE in counseling

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month: What can we do?

One of the effects of prolonged stress, depression, or hopelessness can be the belief that we need to keep our struggles to ourselves. The truth is that challenges with mental health can affect anyone, and reaching out for support is an act of courage and strength.

This month, LCL invites our legal community to pause and acknowledge the importance of mental health and su***de prevention. Many of us know someone who has struggled with depression, experienced a mental health crisis, or been impacted by the loss of a colleague, friend, or loved one. If that includes you, please know that you are not alone. Our heart aches for you.

One of the most meaningful things we can do is create space for honest conversations about mental health and well-being. By checking in with one another, listening without judgment, and encouraging help-seeking when it is needed, we can help build a profession where support, connection, and hope are always within reach.
