All Too Well: Navigating Trauma-Informed Lawyering with Empathy and Care

Patricia Ravenhorst, SC Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

Jada B. Charley, CEO, Crittenton of North Carolina 

Domestic violence and sexual assault programs across the country have increasingly adopted a trauma-informed approach within their organizations. But when we support survivors in a legal context, specific challenges may arise that make it harder for us to maintain a trauma-informed approach to our work. This session will provide a framework as well as concrete tips for applying a trauma-informed approach to supporting survivors in the context of legal proceedings, which includes strategies for the attorney to also engage in active self-care and safety planning to minimize stress, impact of vicarious trauma and burn out.
