About
Welcome to our Vicarious Trauma Prevention Online Course, tailored specifically for legal professionals. As a Forensic Psychologist with extensive experience across all legal jurisdictions, I am delighted to guide you through this essential training. Legal professionals cannot avoid distressing material in the form of documents, images, or narratives, and it is crucial for lawyers to understand and mitigate the impact of this trauma to avoid psychological injury. In this course, we will delve into evidence-based strategies to avoid psychological injury in legal practice. You will gain insights into the psychological presentations of trauma, learn how to identify signs of trauma in yourself and colleagues, and acquire practical tools to create a trauma-protected practice. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to foster a psychologically safer and sustainable legal practice.
