Vicarious Trauma
Designed for barristers, clerks and all chambers staff who regularly encounter distressing clients and material in their working life.
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 not aware of 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.
