Description:
An introduction to the
trauma-informed lawyering framework which will help legal professionals identify
and acknowledge trauma and triggers in their lives. This session will increase
our awareness of the impacts trauma has on the legal profession as a whole, and
on each of us personally and professionally. Attendees will walk away with
strategies for self-reflection, self-regulation, self-critique, and
self-awareness which could improve their personal and professional
relationships.
