***********
This is an in-person event. Remote
participation
available.
Attorneys frequently work with
clients who have experienced trauma, and this exposure may cause vicarious
trauma for
the lawyer. We also bring our own experiences, which may include
trauma, to our work. This presentation, which will be customized for bankruptcy lawyers, will
help legal professionals recognize and address trauma in clients and themselves. Topics
include the role of stigma and bias, understanding trauma and the potential for disability, recognizing
and addressing trauma in clients, and the
impact of current events. The program will also introduce resilience tools and
strategies.
Following the CLE, please join us for
a reception honoring this year's recipients of the Raeder Larson Pro Bono
Service Award.
