Staff Wellness and Workplace Sustainability Initiatives

Grantees will learn how Land of Lincoln Legal Aid: 
1. Identified burnout and workplace stress as a health risk for its staff, 
2. Created clear caseload expectations to manage workload expectations, and 
3. Helped foster a trauma-informed workplace culture that recognizes the emotional demands of legal aid work. 

Hear directly from Land of Lincoln Executive Director Clarissa Gaff and Deputy Director of Finance and Administration Calvin Hwang as they shared the importance of these initiatives to holistically support their staff's wellbeing and continue their crucial legal aid work.

"We value our staff. They're our most important thing. They're coming to work and doing- really hard work. We just want to create a really supportive workplace and do what we can to alleviate stress, burnout, and other things."
