Everyone in the legal community— lawyers, judges, law students, faculty, and other legal professionals— needs concrete actions that help cope with coronavirus-fueled anxiety. This course provides scientific-based tips, backed by years of solid research, to quiet the brain’s threat circuitry, activate the brain’s parasympathetic nervous system (the calming circuitry of the brain), and help develop stress-resistant habits for the future.

By viewing this program, those participating will be able to do the following:
- Be better able to navigate anxiety
- Feel more calm, centered and relaxed
- Learn to meditate
- Enhance the ability to connect with others
- Release tension
- Work with other tools that have been proven to improve the immune system
