January on Balance Podcast: Managing Stress in High-performance Jobs
The January On Balance Podcast explores the stress and wellness issues that can come along with jobs in which you “aren’t allowed to have a bad day.”
Like doctors or police officers, if attorneys aren’t doing their best, someone could get hurt, and the weight of that responsibility can lead to mental health or wellness issues when attorneys, judges, or law students don’t have the support they need.
Molly Ranns and JoAnn Hathaway welcome Tom Grden to the podcast to discuss the many resources available to legal professionals that can help them deal with such stress and continue performing at their best.
Tom Grden is clinical case manager for the State Bar of Michigan’s Lawyers & Judges Assistance Program.

Alert on disaster relief and charity scams re-issued amid LA wildfires
As many residents seek to donate to individuals impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is re-issuing her consumer alert on Disaster Relief and Charity Scams to help protect consumers from fraudsters looking to take advantage of their good will.
“Before donating, take the time to research and verify that you are giving to legitimate charities,” Nessel said.
Nessel encourages residents who want to help to use the following tips to ensure they are giving wisely:
• Be wary of messages from unknown organizations. Give to organizations that are well known for giving disaster relief.
• Avoid social media ads raising money for victims. If you wish to give online, use the charity’s website instead of going through an unknown link.
• Research the charity and find out if they are registered to receive money (solicit) in Michigan.
• Don’t be pressured. Genuine charities give you time to decide when and what’s right for you.
• Be careful when charities say you already gave to them, especially if you don't remember donating.
• Avoid alleged charities that ask for alternate forms of payment. Real charities never ask for wire transfers, gift cards, or other non-traditional payments.
• Donate to trusted entities even if you don’t receive a new offer.
