Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

Lawyers are often confronted with upsetting client realities, from graphic content and relatable, troubling narratives to facts and grievances that just feel plain "wrong" to solicitors. This can bring on symptoms of moral injury or vicarious trauma. Our Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury Workshop defines these psychological injuries in plain English and outlines their early warning signs, symptoms, and effects. We then provide practical tools for prevention and management.
Client-Focused Communication
Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury
Client-Focused Communication

The foremost cause of Lawcover claims continues to be communication breakdown between solicitors and clients. We know that solicitors speak clearly and factually, packing those 6-minute increments with succinct information. We also know that clients will still report unclear or unmet expectations, breakdowns in instruction, and unexplained advice. Our Client-Focused Communication Workshop is grounded in the science of dysregulation, a state which makes many clients simply incapable of communication. We provide a practical framework of simple linguistic and communicative adjustments to help you feel confident and your clients feel heard.

From compassion fatigue and toxic stress to poor boundaries and low resilience, our Professional Quality of Life Workshop outlines the common psychological stressors faced by legal professionals. We then lay a framework for the prevention and correction of unhealthy coping mechanisms by providing practical tools for increasing and maintaining wellbeing, healthy boundaries, and subjective life satisfaction.
Substance Attachment and Coping Management
Substance Attachment and Coping Management
Substance Attachment and Coping Management
Law is an infamously demanding career field, reflected inter alia by the disproportionately high rates of substance use and problematic drinking habits reported by lawyers. Our Substance Attachment and Coping Management Workshop outlines the science of unhealthy attachment before outlining a path to safer coping skills, self-regulation, and harm minimisation.
Lawyer Burnout
Substance Attachment and Coping Management
Substance Attachment and Coping Management
The legal profession has an exceptionally high rate of attrition. Many legal professionals report unmanageable workload, high expectations of effort and demand matched with low rewards and minimal control over their duties, and more. Our Lawyer Burnout Workshop explains occupational burnout from an evidence-backed perspective and offers practicable steps to intervention and management.
