Reminder:
Seventh Training: Vicarious Trauma
Friday, March 12th@ 12pm-2pm EST
The instructors for this training will be Rosa Regincos, LCSW and Dr. Tamar Levy. Working with IPV can lead to personal and professional growth. Moreover, it gives legal professionals the rewarding opportunity to work with a resilient population capable of making enormous changes in their lives. However, learning about cruelty, humiliation, abandonment, vulnerability and pain, and the devastating impact that abuse has on individuals, families and societies is not free of challenges. The same way abuse affects the individuals who have experienced it, working with IPV survivors can deeply transform the lives of legal providers working with them. This presentation will focus on providers’ response to working with IPV survivors and individual and organizational strategies to prevent and address providers’ responses to working with traumatized clients, as well as burn-out
All trainings will be held Fridays, January 22 – March 19, 2021 12pm-2pm EST
Note: You may register for the whole series, or just for individual trainings within the series. These trainings will also be eligible for Continuing Legal Education Credits.
