Providing direct legal services to vulnerable clients can lead to great professional satisfaction for attorneys, law students, and volunteers. At the same time, heavy workloads and continued exposure to client stress and trauma can have the opposite effect, leading to compassion fatigue and even burnout.

This training will help advocates understand what compassion fatigue is and how to identify it in order to manage its effects so that they remain able to provide effective and competent legal assistance.
