Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate event. CIGD is one of several methods that may be utilized to lessen the likelihood of people experiencing symptoms of trauma and stress after a critical incident. This group debriefing process provides a place for participants to talk and share experiences\, and for the facilitator to teach and provide information about the impact of critical incidents.

SUMMARY:Well Being in the Legal Profession Week - Including Daily Free Sessions
DESCRIPTION:CLIA is co-hosting Well-Being in the Legal Profession Week\, May 12th to 16th with daily\,  free hour-long webinars from 3:30-4:30pm (NL Time).  Building on the theme of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mental Health Week of Unmasking Mental Health and the results of the National Study on the Health and Wellness Determinants of Legal Professionals in Canada. Register for each webinar individually. Note that the webinars will be provided in both French and English and registration is limited to 1000 registrants. \nMay 12th: Bena Stock – Well-Being in the Legal Profession – Concrete Strategies for Positive Change (Perfectionism) \nThis webinar addresses legal practitioners’ unique mental health challenges and provides evidence-based strategies to enhance well-being while maintaining professional excellence. Designed specifically for lawyers navigating the demands of modern legal practice\, this program transforms theoretical wellness concepts into practical applications for the legal environment. This interactive webinar includes practical exercises\, case studies drawn from legal practice scenarios\, and actionable takeaways that can be immediately implemented in your professional environment. \nClick to register for Well-Being in the Legal Profession: Concrete Strategies for Positive Change \n  \nMay 13th: Dr. Judy Jaunzems-Fernuk – Mental Health\, Well-being\, and Issues Facing Law Students/Young Lawyers:  \nJoin us for a conversation about law student mental health and well-being\, featuring insights from the College of Law’s wellness initiatives. This session will explore common challenges students face\, how supports are provided\, and why building a culture of well-being in legal education matters for the future of the profession. Judy\, the College’s Well-being Coordinator\, will also infuse strategies and supports for mental health and well-being in general that can support personal and workplace well-being. \nClick to register for Mental Health\, Well-Being and Issues Facing Law Students/Young Lawyers \n  \nMay 14th: Richard Martin –Mindful Business Charter \nWe all know the concerns around mental health in the legal profession. Many of the measures to address it are either about supporting people in distress or encouraging them to be more resilient rather than addressing the causes of the distress. The Mindful Business Charter (MBC) is a movement of law firms and their clients aiming to reduce unnecessary stressors in the workplace. In this session\, CEO Richard Martin provides practical concrete examples of how the MBC can be applied in any workplace.  You will also learn more about the MBC and how to get involved with the valuable work they are doing to create a healthier profession for the future. \nClick to register for The Mindful Business Charter \n  \nMay 15th: Ryann Peyton – Well-Being is a Team Sport  \nWe often think of well-being as an individual problem\, solvable with simple fixes such as doing more yoga\, drinking more water\, getting more rest\, and setting boundaries. Yet the research continues to show that personal solutions are not enough to combat the systemic\, structural\, and cultural elements of the legal profession that keep people unwell. If lawyers don’t take care of each other…who will? The responsibility for driving well-being change in the legal profession is on all of us. Incorporating actionable and replicable goals and strategies to drive true culture change\, this presentation will explore how a community-based approach to lawyer well-being can remove the often artificial\, unnecessary\, and outmoded barriers that prevent legal professionals from being able to perform at their best. \nClick to register for Well-Being is a Team Sport

SUMMARY:Preventive Justice: The Quest for Certainty in Predicting Future Harm
DESCRIPTION:Chief Justice Sir Francis Forbes Annual Law Lecture\nLocation: Inco Innovation Centre Lecture Theatre 2001 \nFree Parking in Adjacent Lot 17\nMemorial University Campus \n \nThe term “preventive justice” was first used in the 18th century and linked to laws aimed at preventing future crime. In many jurisdictions based on the common law\, the past few decades have seen preventive justice schemes reinvigorated in association with a focus on risk assessment tools aimed at predicting the risk of future harmful behaviour. Recently\, predictive machine learning algorithms have been used to inform judicial decision-making\, including sentencing. Using case studies\, this lecture will explore some of the legal and ethical issues raised by preventive justice schemes and will consider whether the quest for certainty in predicting future harm is any closer to being fulfilled. \nBrought to you by Memorial University\, the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador\, and the Law Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador. \nFeaturing guest speaker: \nDr. Bernadette McSherry\nEmeritus Professor of Law\nUniversity of Melbourne \nThis is a unique opportunity to engage with a leading expert in the field of preventive justice and to discuss the evolving role of law and technology in shaping our legal landscape. Don’t miss out on the chance to deepen your understanding of these critical issues and connect with professionals in the legal community. \nView the event poster here. \nDr. Bernadette McSherry to Deliver 2025 Chief Justice Forbes Lecture
