The legal profession is often portrayed as one of prestige, power, and intellect. But behind the courtroom victories and carefully drafted contracts lies a different story—one of immense pressure, emotional strain, and mental health challenges that lawyers face daily.
At Acclivity, we understand that the well-being of lawyers directly impacts not only their own health but also their relationships with clients and the quality of service they provide. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to fill the critical gap in legal training related to the pressures of the field, focusing not only on the lawyers themselves but also on their interactions with clients—particularly clients dealing with trauma, those who may be difficult to communicate with, and others facing challenging life circumstances.
Why We Founded Acclivity
Lawyers navigate complex legal issues while managing the emotional burdens their clients carry, all under the weight of high stakes and relentless deadlines. These challenges can take a significant toll on both lawyers and their clients, rippling outward to affect families, communities, and the integrity of the legal system.
Despite the prevalence of anxiety, trauma, and burnout in the profession, traditional legal training rarely addresses these realities. Lawyers are often left to confront the emotional toll of their work on their own, leading to isolation and overwhelm.
Acclivity was created to change this. Our trauma-informed training programs not only empower lawyers to take control of their own well-being but also equip them with the tools and understanding needed to navigate and improve their relationships with clients and other legal professionals.
What We Offer
Acclivity’s training programs are designed to address the human side of legal practice—an aspect often overlooked in traditional legal education.
Lawyer Wellness: We tackle topics like anxiety, burnout, and suicide prevention, equipping lawyers with tools to recognize and address these issues.
Client Communication: Our programs offer insights into the connection between client behavior and trauma, helping lawyers foster stronger, more empathetic relationships with their clients.
Trauma-Informed Practices: From recognizing the signs of trauma in both lawyers and clients to understanding its impact on legal outcomes, our training provides actionable strategies for managing emotional complexities.
Professional Empowerment: We focus on helping lawyers build resilience, set boundaries, and regain control over their careers, allowing them to meet the demands of the profession without sacrificing their well-being.
By addressing these critical areas, Acclivity empowers lawyers to be more effective advocates and advisors, ultimately improving outcomes for their clients and strengthening the legal system as a whole.
Our Vision for the Legal System
At Acclivity, we see lawyers as more than just legal professionals—they are critical pillars of our communities. The work they do impacts families, businesses, and society as a whole.
By empowering lawyers to take control of their well-being and enhance their effectiveness, we aim to improve not just the legal profession but the entire legal system.
