Helping barristers and chambers staff recognise, understand, and manage the impact of traumatic exposure in their work.

In the legal sector, known for its rapid pace and demanding nature, there is a prevalent mindset of persevering through challenging cases without enough consideration for their impact on our wellbeing, instead we prevail with a 'just get on with it' attitude.

Vicarious trauma is a concept that many are unfamiliar with and relates to the impact of particularly hard cases that cause lasting stress-related symptoms that you may not be aware of.

This course is designed to help those working in all areas of law in identifying vicarious trauma symptoms in themselves or in colleagues and what to do if they are struggling to cope.

Course Modules

Gain a clear understanding of what trauma and vicarious trauma mean, and explore the long-term effects they can have on those working within chambers.

Understand how vicarious trauma affects legal professionals across the Bar and the wider legal sector, influencing wellbeing, performance, and professional relationships.

Identify the common signs and symptoms of vicarious trauma, including stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue, and learn how to recognise these in yourself and your colleagues.

Explore practical strategies to reduce the impact of vicarious trauma and support colleagues through effective check-ins and open communication.
