Are you interested in learning about the impacts of vicarious and secondary trauma on attorneys and their practice of law? Join MJF for a facilitated discussion session by the professionals at Creative Kuponya that will address the intersectionality between client and personal trauma: how to practice self-care while advocating for others.
The legal profession has some of the highest rates of mental health challenges, and challenges are increased for BIPOC individuals and marginalized groups. In this one-hour small group conversation, you will have the opportunity to hear from two therapists on how to process your pain, metabolize your trauma, recognize a client’s trauma, and understand secondary trauma. You will also learn about how to build and maintain your mental health so that you can be both effective and efficient in your profession and pass resilience on to your client.
If you are interested in participating in this small group discussion session, please join us on Wednesday, November 18th at 4 PM (CST) for our first virtual session. Space is limited to ensure that the attendees can actively participate in the discussion, so only the first 8 students from each MN law school to sign up will be able to attend. (However, a waitlist will be created.)
