Clinic students often suffer stress and vicarious trauma as a result of working closely with clients in extremely difficult situations. Vicarious trauma not only affects lawyers working with victims of domestic violence or asylum-seekers; students can experience it in any clinic assisting people in crisis, whether their clients are criminal defendants, tenants facing eviction, or investors who lost their life savings to fraud. Students can experience a range of unexpected and difficult symptoms, including difficulty sleeping, or feeling emotionally exhausted, angry, afraid, or ashamed. Left unaddressed, secondary trauma symptoms can compromise our students’ ability to serve their clients effectively. Teaching our students to manage stress and minimize vicarious trauma is critically important if they are to be effective lawyers both in our clinics and in practice after graduation. This interactive concurrent session will use a video performance and audience exercises to examine how exposure to trauma can affect our students and what teachers can do about it. We will discuss techniques to proactively minimize secondary trauma as well as how to recognize and address its symptoms. Participants will leave with resources to teach their students about secondary trauma and minimize its harmful effects.
