The Cost of Caring – Mental Health Awareness

In conjunction with the "Cost of Caring" presentation, Schiller DuCanto & Fleck hosted an internal lunch and learn program last week where guest speaker Katie Rowe Mitchell, the co-founder of Unfold Yoga + Wellness at Work, shared insights on how the negative effects of stress in the workplace can unconsciously damage us physically as well as mentally leaving us depleted and limiting our ability to help our clients and families. Having a solid support system at work can help buffer us from the negative effects of job stress. Through meditation and a focus on diaphragmatic breathing, it is possible to reverse the deterioration in the brain’s plasticity and improve overall mental health. Attorneys and staff who attended the event learned new techniques to help alleviate chronic stress and anxiety at work.
