This month’s Fairy Law Mother Workshop focused on mental health during the bar exam.
We heard from Amber Phillips, a licensed mental health professional who shared not only strategies for how to cope during major testing anxiety but also the biological explanation for why this happens to us.
We also heard from Owner and Founder of Emusé365 Avice Burchett, who shared her journey with anxiety and depression and how she overcame her struggles by using the smell and feel of lotion as a coping technique.
The group made their own essential-oil infused lotions to use during bar prep as a source of stress relief. It was a fun, outdoors, hands-on experience, and I hope that it makes a difference for our graduates over the next few months.
Thank you to everyone who attended, to those who sponsored, and as always, to Press for hosting!
