Dealing with Workplace Trauma [HCMag.com]

Lawyers may not be the first employees you think of when it comes to experiencing workplace trauma, but law firm Maurice Blackburn Lawyers realised its employees were being affected by dealing with traumatic cases and emotional clients.

Kate Dobbrick, the firm’s workplace wellbeing consultant, said that a couple of years ago, the organisation’s internal social worker noticed that the employees were talking about their experiences with clients in a way that “resonated with her from a vicarious trauma perspective and the experience she has to manage from her own perspective as a social worker”.
