Find Your Common Circle

BY RANI AMANI , ICE MILLER LLP

The IndyBar Well-Being Committee is excited to introduce its programming for the coming year. Our goal is simple: to support the well-being of lawyers and legal professionals while building meaningful connections within the IndyBar community. The practice of law is deeply rewarding, but it can also be demanding. The Well-Being Committee was created in 2017 to provide resources, programming, and opportunities for connection that help lawyers sustain their professional and personal well-being. Throughout the year, the Committee will offer programming focused on differed dimensions of well being, along with opportunities to connect socially and serve or legal community together. A Year Focused on Well-Being Our programming this year will highlight several key aspects of well-being. The Practice of Well-Being (January – April) We began the year by focusing on connection. Strong professional relationships are an important part of a healthy legal career, and creating space for attorneys to connect outside of their daily work can help strengthen our legal community. Mental Health and Mindfulness (May – August) Programming from May to August will focus on mental health and mindfulness. We’ll kick things off with Mental Health Awareness month. The legal profession

can bring significant stress, and learning practical strategies to manage that stress is an important part of maintaining well-being. Physical Well-Being (September – December) To close out the year, we will focus on physical well being. Programming will include conversations about exercise, nutrition, sleep, and other habits that support long-term health and sustainability in the legal field. Join a Common Circle One of the ways members can get involved is by participating in Common Circles—small groups that bring lawyers together around shared interests, experiences, or practice areas.

Meal Trains and Supporting Our Community One of the most meaningful ways the Well-Being Committee has supported our legal community has been through organizing meal trains for members experiencing significant life events, navigating an illness, or facing a challenging season. These small acts allow our legal community to show up for one another. Preparing, ordering, or delivering meals may seem simple, but it sends a powerful message: no one in our profession has to go through difficult moments alone. If you are aware of a member of our legal community who could benefit from this kind of support, please feel free to reach out so we can help coordinate a meal train. Get Involved The Well-Being Committee welcomes participation from IndyBar Members at every stage of their careers. Whether you attend a program, volunteer for a meal train, or join a Common Circle, we hope you will take advantage of these opportunities to prioritize your well-being and strengthen our legal community. We look forward to a year of connection, learning, and growth together. Rani Amani is the Chair of IndyBar's Well-Being Committee and an associate in Ice Miller’s Litigation Group.
