About this Event
The Pro Bono Project and the Resiliency & Justice Center offers this free CLE to pro bono attorneys who have not yet completed it, missed it the first time, or wish to repeat it. Jackie Harris, MA, LMFT, LADC, and Tyler J. Winkler, Esq., will lead this one-day training based on the CE-CERT model (Components for Enhancing Career Experience and Reducing Trauma) at Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada.
It is estimated that 50% of professionals in helping professions experience some form of distress resulting from their work. Secondary trauma can be a natural by-product of working with traumatized clients and situations. The symptoms of secondary trauma can mirror those of post-traumatic stress disorder. Secondary trauma can lead to challenges in the workplace, decrease staff morale, and increase turnover and burnout.
The "Reducing Secondary Trauma & Burnout for Helping Professionals" training will focus on specific skills to mediate and prevent secondary trauma and burnout. Some of the skills discussed include experiential engagement, decreasing rumination, conscious narratives, reducing emotional labor, and parasympathetic recovery. These skills are easy to learn, use, and apply so that you may enjoy the legal work that you do with committed compassion and continue to grow and learn with clients who have experienced trauma.
Lunch will be provided and Nevada-licensed or emeritus-certified attorneys can earn 6.0 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits--4.0 general credits, 1.0 ethics credit, and 1.0 AAMH credit. To receive credit, attorneys must be active volunteers with the Pro Bono Project. You can select a case or sign up for Ask-A-Lawyers from www.lacsnprobono.org.
