Judicial Wellness Program (NMJWP)

Did you know… JWELL sends out monthly eblasts that address topics specific to issues that judges experience? They are one of the ways that JWELL supports the wellbeing of our judiciary. These eblasts are created by a group of attorneys, judges, staff members of AOC, and staff members of the State Bar of New Mexico. We add articles and videos, as well as personal stories from our judges that incorporate well-being tips and reflections that aim to decrease stress and increase job satisfaction.

This publication, SBNM Enews, aims to not only keep you informed of events but also to highlight all that SBNM offers you as an attorney. If there is something you want to see that is not here, contact us and give us your feedback. We are all here to serve you!
