Julia welcomes Sania Chaudhry, an employment and human rights lawyer and winner of Alberta’s Top 30 under 30 award for professional excellence in 2022, to discuss mental health in the legal profession. Sania is active with the Alberta Branch of the CBA, as well the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers, and the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association. Julia talks to her about bouncing back from burn-out, going from litigation in private practice to a regulator and back again, learning to cope with microaggressions and stigma on multiple fronts, and starting a family, all before turning 30. This conversation features an impressive density of tips, tricks, and hands-on advice for young legal professionals and their employers on sustainable lawyering.EN_Preliminary report_Cadieux et al_Université de Sherbrooke_221024.pdf (flsc.ca)https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-legal-profession-needs-to-act-on-barriers-facing-historically/https://nationalmagazine.ca/fr-ca/articles/the-practice/legal-education/2021/moving-beyond-diversity-and-inclusionhttps://www.nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articles/the-practice/legal-education/2020/anti-racism-as-part-of-continuing-professional-devTrauma informed lawyering and bystander training: https://www.myrnamccallum.co/https://standupteams.ca/CBA National EDI recording series:Achieving Racial Justice: https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=na_NA22EDI01AIndigenous Lawyers Panel: https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=na_NA22EDI08ADisability &amp; Mental Health Panel: https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=na_NA22EDI09AInternationally Trained Lawyers Panel: https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=na_NA22EDI10ACBA Alberta EDI PD recording series:Anti-Racism Education for Legal Professionals: https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=ab_ab21edi01oBeing an Engaged Bystander:https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=ab_AB21EDI05OHow to be an effective ally:https://www.cbapd.org/details_en.aspx?id=ab_ab21edi04o
