Celebrate Well-Being Week in Law with us on Tuesday, May 5!
WBA members are invited to enjoy a FREE coffee (or other beverage) on us at The White Rabbit Café and Patisserie, 113 North Main Street, Greensburg. Stop by before 2 pm, tell the barrista you’re a WBA member, and they will check for your name on the guest list!
What Is Well-Being Week in Law?
The aim of Well-Being Week in Law (WWIL) is to raise awareness about mental health and encourage action and innovation across the profession all year-round to improve well-being.
Joy Helps Us Thrive, Not Just Survive
This year's WWIL theme is Tending Joy. Tending joy doesn’t mean minimizing real challenges — it means equipping ourselves to face them. Research shows that positive emotions like joy are functional psychological mechanisms that broaden our thinking, build durable personal resources, and create upward spirals toward greater well-being. Positive emotions like joy help repair the physiological effects of stress, accelerate cardiovascular recovery, and expand our capacity to solve problems and connect with others.
