In addition to coping with the stress and anxiety that goes along with being a law student, the pandemic and the current political climate can add stresses that require extra attention. By searching the library’s online catalog, books about overcoming stress, anxiety, and burnout can be found. Also, there is useful information about spirituality, meditation, and finding work-life balance. Articles about self-care and wellness can be found by searching within the law library’s online databases.
If you need any assistance with locating materials from the Lucille Stewart Beeson Law Library, please contact a librarian by sending an email to lawref@samford.edu. However, even though librarians are experts at finding information, we are NOT experts at dealing with stress and anxiety.
If you need to connect with an expert who can help you to discover solutions for coping with stress and anxiety, we strongly encourage you to consult the following campus resources:
