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.
Join Cindy Sharp and Becky Howlett for this timely educational webinar as they explore secondary trauma. Case studies of legal professionals who have experienced the adverse effects of vicarious trauma are included.

Attendees will learn:
● How to identify situations that may lead to secondary trauma
● 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
