OBA Peer Support Network Parent and Caregiver Network

OBA PARENT AND CAREGIVER NETWORK  

An initiative of the OBA’s Women Lawyers Forum 

The OBA has been serving lawyers for more than a century. We know lawyers – their struggle to achieve balance, the challenge to maintain wellness and the drive to do good and give back to the community. The OBA works to serve the whole lawyer from their desk to their doorstep (even when those are in two different places). Here you will find information and OBA services relevant to busy parents and caregivers, eager volunteers, and those looking for social connection. 

The OBA Parent and Caregiver Network provides a community for all lawyers from all practice areas, years of experience, and locations, who can empathize with one another's challenges, share the joys and help one another with resources, support and camaraderie in a secure space. 

Helpful Articles

The OBA publishes timely and helpful articles centred around the ongoing needs of lawyers who are parents and/or caregivers. We’ve collated these articles for ease of reference and will continue to add new articles regularly.

CPD Programming

The OBA continues to develop important programming that recognizes the demands put on lawyers who care for children, aging relatives and others and provides them with the practical tools, supports and strategies to ensure success.

Helpful Tips

We know the challenges of balancing a busy career with a busy home life and offer members simple mental health tips, mindfulness exercises and sometimes a laugh through our Mindful Moment emails and Mental Health Briefs.
