Workshop 33: Tending to the Wellbeing of Those Who Look After Others in the Courtroom
Family law professionals working at the front-end of the family law system have the closest contact with litigants thus exposing themselves to the risk of stress, burnout, vicarious trauma, and mental health issues. Protecting their well-being requires a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, evidence-based, policy-driven, institutional approach. Interventions must be personal and organizational. Culture change, strong leadership and effective communication is critical. In this workshop, the presenters will share practical strategies for supporting the wellbeing of frontline family law professionals and the organizations in which they serve.
