Those who provide services to victims of crimes and others who suffer trauma can often experience trauma themselves as a result, as well as burnout. This training will define important terms, explore risk factors, and help attorneys develop strategies for preventing and addressing both vicarious trauma and burnout.  Attendees will learn self-care techniques, healthy coping skills, and receive tips for working with victims of trauma. Training in dealing with vicarious trauma can, in turn, create a balanced work environment and minimize the risk of re-traumatizing clients.
