About this program

This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired July 31, 2026 and features Cristina Garcia.

A trial attorney will explore how attorneys representing clients with catastrophic injuries are regularly exposed to intense trauma. Over time, they may absorb their clients' experiences, placing them at risk for secondary traumatic stress. The presentation will cover how to identify the signs of vicarious trauma and emphasize the importance of self-care in sustaining effective, compassionate advocacy.
