Legal professionals from several counties gathered Friday at The State Bar of Georgia for a six-hour wellness program called “Wellness is the New Normal,” with a focus on mental health and well-being for lawyers and judges.
Over 500 attorneys registered for the event, which featured members of the Attorney Wellness Committee talking about lawyers’ self-care during trial preparation, attorney ethics and spiritual well-being. It was also livestreamed for virtual participants.

Judge Alvin T. Wong of DeKalb County State Court was part of the State Bar of Georgia’s six-hour program encouraging lawyers and judges to pay attention to their mental health and well-being. “This is something we haven’t talked about much at all, and it’s about time we did,” he said.
