New Webinars Monthly – in 30 Minutes or Less
Learn the science of secondary trauma and how to limit its impact on your mental health as a lawyer from Anne Haag in 30 minutes or less — with our next installment of Webinars for Busy Lawyers.
Lawyers frequently encounter trauma in the clients they represent, and absorption of that trauma can threaten the lawyer’s own mental health. Trauma is increasingly at the front and center of our current cultural conversations surrounding mental health, and breaking down the science behind it can significantly boost our comprehension of how it functions in society.
In this webinar, we’ll dissect our understanding of how trauma functions in the brain, and how a client’s trauma often presents itself throughout the course of representation. There are no quick fixes when it comes to mental health, but we’ll also discuss methods lawyers can utilize to minimize the impact of secondary trauma on their own mental health, as well as methods to lessen the likelihood of re-traumatization for their client during legal proceedings.
Q&A will follow the program, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions you have.
