The State Bar of Michigan's Young Lawyers Section is hosting a seminar entitled "Stress Management for the Young Professional" on Thursday, May 11, 2000 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Novi Double Tree Hotel. William Livingston, Director of the State Bar of Michigan's Lawyers and Judges Assistance Program, will present the seminar.

Livingston will discuss the difficulties of meeting the demands of a professional life, and how to cope with the stress created by a fast-paced profession. Special emphasis will be placed on how to recognize the symptoms of stress before it affects your professional and personal life.

This seminar will also focus on ideas for coping with and reducing stress on a daily basis, and where to turn and what to do when the stress becomes too much. A special survey created by the Lawyers and Judges Assistance Program will be distributed to help Young Lawyers recognize their own personal levels of stress, and help detect early symptoms of dangerous stress levels.

If you have ever wondered whether you have been affected, either personally or professionally by the stress in your life; want to learn how to avoid letting stress take over your life; or if you are concerned about a fellow colleague, you are encouraged to attend this seminar. Refreshments will be served, and questions are more than welcomed. Seating is limited to 50 attendees, so call to reserve your seat as soon as possible. To reserve your seat, or if you have questions, please contact Michelle L. Streicher, Secretary/Treasurer of the State Bar's Young Lawyers Section at (313) 961-9196.
