Many survivors of intimate partner abuse have a history of trauma or exposure to traumatic events—and interacting with the courts may present situations that can reactivate trauma responses. It is crucial that lawyers and advocates incorporate approaches that are informed by an understanding of trauma and focus on survivors’ healing.

This webinar will focus on developing your understanding of trauma, its effects, and your ability to use healing-centered approaches when working with clients, with a particular focus on intimate partner abuse and the court system.
