The Practice Management Advisory Service of the D.C. Bar presents the Small Firm Lunch and Learn Series. Each program in this series will explore a topic of particular interest to members who are starting, managing, or growing law firms in the District of Columbia. Most sessions take place from noon until 2:00 p.m. at the D.C. Bar (901 4th Street, NW) and are free to Bar members and their staff. This is a brown bag event. Attendees may bring their own lunch. Beverages are served.
Schedule
Due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the D.C. Bar has decided to take precautionary measures to protect our members, our staff, and the community we serve. Beginning March 16, key Bar services will only be available online via videoconference.
June 9, 2022 – Working with Clients in Trauma: Serving Them, Protecting Yourself
Presented by Katharine Manning of Blackbird DC
Special care is needed when working with clients in trauma. This session explores a trauma-informed approach to interviewing and witness preparation, including the ways that trauma affects the brain, how to ask questions in a way that will obtain the information you need without needless re-traumatization, recognizing and managing the effects of trauma during the interview, and how to communicate information in a way that a person in trauma can understand it. Attendees will leave with a list of helpful resources to know when working with those in trauma, including where to find a domestic violence shelter, the suicide hotline number, and how to report suspected child abuse.
For more information on this program and other services offered by the Practice Management Advisory Service you may contact Daniel M. Mills or Kaitlin Forster, practice management advisors, at [email protected].
