Protection Against Psychological Injury
Tuesday, 4 March 2025 | 10:00am - 12:00pm | By Zoom Webinar Only
2 CPD units (Practice Management/Business Skills)

Presenter:
Nick Valentine, Healing Phase

This webinar aims to enhance knowledge of psychological injuries (i.e., burnout, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and vicarious trauma), and resources for preventing / mitigating them in the legal profession. 

It will explore:
  • The common stressors and risk factors contributing to a high prevalence of psychological injuries in the legal profession
  • The key findings and recommendations of recent Lawyer Wellbeing Projects, in Australia and across the world, to increase psychological safety 
  • The science of the body and the brain in relation to chronic stress, 'survival mode', and trauma
  • The early warning signs (i.e., somatic, cognitive, emotional, behavioural, relational & worldview changes) that might suggest emerging psychological injury
  • A range of practical skills and resources (including directed mindfulness, self compassion and somatic resources), that professionals can use in real time (i.e., not just via new rituals) - to increase self-awareness, distress tolerance, regulation capacity, and the overall sense of self-control
This webinar will draw upon the latest research regarding mental health and the law, and include exploration of a range or resources from the discipline of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

It will provide psycho-education and practical tools and resources, with the aid of power-point presentations.
