DESCRIPTION: Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense presents a very 
 special CLE: Work Place Trauma-Coping Strategies for Defense Attorneys: 
 Featuring a guided meditation by Mike Millios\; 1.5 ELIMINATION OF BIAS 
 CREDITS APPROVED In person capacity of 30\, register by Sept. 15. by 
 emailing: mike@milliosmw.com Zoom available\, unlimited. Suggested 
 donation of $10 to Karuna Community MN: www.karunacmn.org Mike and Benjy 
 will share their stories of trauma and healthy coping strategies as 
 defense attorneys. How do you recognize trauma in yourselves and your 
 colleagues? How can we better support ourselves and our colleagues? In 
 2013\, Mike discovered that yoga and mindfulness tools significantly 
 helped his mental and physical health after years of unhealthy trauma 
 management due to compassion fatigue and post-traumatic stress stemming 
 from Army service and work as a criminal defense lawyer/public defender. 
 In 2017\, Mike began training in mindful resilience\, meditation\, and 
 yoga to help his community. Mike has been guiding wellness and mindfulness
  workshops for caregivers and client focused professionals since 2018. 
 Mike launched Millios Wellness (milliosmw.com - check out the new 
 resources pages) in 2021 to offer individual and group coaching services. 
 Mike founded Karuna Community Mn (karunacmn.org)\, a Minnesota non-
 profit\, to share mindfulness tools with people who are incarcerated or in
  treatment. Mike is currently wrapping up his legal practice as he is set 
 to start as the Community Mediation Minnesota Executive Director this 
 month. Mike can be reached at 612-272-4989 or mike@milliosmw.com Benjy 
 Schirm is a true believer who has been working in Public Defense carrying 
 a caseload of 150-330+ felonies at a time for the past 5 years. Before law
  school he was an award-winning Actor\, Director and Choreographer Off-
 Broadway\, internationally\, and regionally in Boston\, Denver and Grand 
 Rapids\, Michigan. He focuses his practice on a holistic approach with a 
 dynamic presentation of his client's humanity in the face of the churning 
 gears of justice. On April 1st\, 2022\, a client\, upon receiving a guilty
  verdict at the end of a week-long CSC 2nd trial\, cut their throat open 
 at counsel table in the courtroom. Benjy was entirely unprepared for this 
 moment. He hopes to impart his thoughts on the traumatic moments we all 
 have or will experience in working in criminal defense work and how to 
 adequately prepare oneself for the inevitable onslaught. He is building 
 out a wellness resource center website for the public defenders of 
 Minnesota and has thrown himself into creating a purpose and a positive 
 out of his crippling experience. This talk is the beginning of the work 
 showing through the darkness. Benjamin.schirm@pubdef.state.mn.us This CLE 
 features a live time guided meditation and has been approved for 
 elimination of bias credits.
