How Trauma in the Practice of Law Impacts You

About the event
Let's face it, most people don't contact an attorney because they're having the best day of their lives.  They likely are experiencing some problem they want you to fix.  They may bring with them a torrential downpour of issues: child abuse and neglect, substance use and addiction, mental health issues, employment and housing instability, domestic violence, criminal charges, and more.  Bearing witness to the suffering and trauma of your clients takes an emotional and physical toll that can’t be ignored.
This session explores the impact of working with survivors of trauma, identifies individual and systemic symptoms of secondary trauma, and generates discussion of what support can look like for individual lawyers and our profession.
