 th Chapter Conference 2026 · Session 05 · Room A · Wellness\n\nPanelist
 s:\n• Sara Mailander (Fragomen\, Del Rey\, Bernsen & Loewy\, Boston\, Ma
 ssachusetts)\n• Kenneth Mayeaux (Rozas & Associates\, Baton Rouge\, Loui
 siana)\n\nDay after day\, advocates are asked to perform small miracles fo
 r clients facing life-changing consequences. Over time\, that burden can a
 ffect not only personal well-being\, but also communication\, judgment\, a
 nd the long-term sustainability of a legal practice.\n\nIn this uplifting 
 well-being session\, panelists explore how attorneys can keep answering th
 e call to serve without sacrificing their own health. The discussion focus
 es on creating healthy boundaries\, fostering effective client communicati
 on\, recognizing signs of burnout\, and building a support system that hel
 ps advocates thrive rather than simply survive.\n\nThe panel will discuss:
 \n• Managing client expectations and setting healthy boundaries around c
 ommunication\, urgency\, availability\, and scope of representation.\n• 
 Distinguishing true emergencies from perceived urgency for clients\, staff
 \, and ourselves.\n• Knowing when to guide rather than save\, while avoi
 ding the trap of carrying clients' burdens alone.\n• Recognizing burnout
 \, compassion fatigue\, and secondary trauma\, and finding renewal through
  AILA\, bar associations\, and other well-being resources.
