Attorneys often represent people who have been traumatized as victims of abuse, crime or other adversity. As the matter unfolds, lawyers, staff and judges alike may be exposed to emotional stories, highly charged situations, as well as gruesome and disturbing evidence, which can lead to secondary or vicarious trauma. Symptoms include burnout, PTSD, irritability, difficulties with sleep and concentration as well as diminished pleasure and interest in activities.

● Specific steps you can take IMMEDIATELY to manage and avoid the ill effects of compassion fatigue
● Tips on how to approach a colleague who is exhibiting “the signs”
● Strategies to implement a trauma-informed approach
