Those who provide services to victims of crimes and others who suffer trauma can often experience trauma themselves as a result, as well as burnout. This training will define important terms, explore risk factors, and help attorneys develop strategies for preventing and addressing both vicarious trauma and burnout. Attendees will learn self-care techniques, healthy coping skills, and receive tips for working with victims of trauma. Training in dealing with vicarious trauma can, in turn, create a balanced work environment and minimize the risk of re-traumatizing clients.

Join the discussion as the LALL book discussion group concludes its year-long exploration of issues related to labor and employment with a discussion of The Hammer: Power, Inequality and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor, by Hamilton Nolan. At our last discussion, a question was asked re: whether unions are still relevant. This book responds to that question head-on. Although organized labor has been in decline for decades, a recent highly visible wave of strikes and new organizing campaigns have driven the popularity of unions to historic highs. In chapters that cover movements around the country, the reader is taken to the actual places where labor and politics meld. The Hammer is an urgent, on-the-ground excavation of the past, present and future of the American labor movement.

A lifetime of experience and cultural history shapes how we think, view the world, and interact with people. Research has shown that most people hold unconscious, implicit assumptions that influence how they engage with other people. Usually seen as something that affects individuals, implicit bias has significant impacts on institutional practices and structures. This webinar will explore different kinds of implicit bias and offer tools to address it personally and organizationally. This training satisfies the one-hour California MCLE requirement for a focus on implicit bias and the promotion of bias-reducing strategies to address how unintended biases regarding race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics undermine confidence in the legal system.
