The purpose of the Wellness Committee is to promote a culture within the Wisconsin Defense Council of physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being for our members by providing activities, information, and support that will result in healthier lifestyles. The legal field is wrought with sleepless nights, high stakes, stress, and burnout and can be a generally sedentary profession.
