Husch Blackwell Alumni are welcome to attend any of the HB seminars and webinars listed in the events section of our firm website. We hope you can partake in some of these great educational opportunities.
We also want to call out a special five-part webinar series focused on attorney wellness. Recognizing the need to help improve the mental health and well-being of our attorneys, the firm signed the ABA Well-Being Pledge in early 2019. Part of our pledge promise is to raise awareness concerning important wellness issues such as anxiety, depression, alcoholism and substance abuse.
We are launching our Fall Wellness Webinar Series. These programs will be presented by professional speakers and clinicians from St. Luke’s Health System, which is our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider. Each webinar will last 30 minutes, and all programs will begin at noon (Central Time).
Below are the webinar dates, topics and links to register:
