# Take a Moment for Yourself

[AILA](https://www.aila.org/practice/lawyer-well-being-center) and the [Institute for Well-Being in the Law](https://lawyerwellbeing.net/lawyer-well-being-week/) are hosting the second annual Lawyer Well-Being Week (May 3–7, 2021), along with bar associations across the country. Lawyer Well-Being Week aims to raise awareness and encourage action across the profession, to improve well-being for lawyers and their support teams. Immigration is a stressful practice, where lawyers often focus on the needs of the clients at the sacrifice of their own. Join your AILA colleagues in embracing health and well-being in each aspect of your life and work this week.

We hope you will join us!
