- educating lawyers on resilience strategies to safeguard their mental health.
The session will be divided into four segments:

- strategies for bringing a trauma-informed approach in client interactions;

legal practice; - identifying risk factors for vicarious trauma + vicarious resilience and safeguarding the
mental health of lawyers.
