Direct Client Services and Secondary/Vicarious Trauma

Planning to work in direct client services as a public defender or civil legal aid lawyer? Those lawyers might experience secondary/vicarious trauma. Secondary/vicarious trauma refers to the distress people might feel from empathetic engagement with clients who have experienced their own traumas. In this event, Dr. Kate Gibson and Karen Painter from CAPS will discuss realistic strategies to prevent or cope with secondary/vicarious trauma. Food will be provided with RSVP in Symplicity.
