SUMMARY:Moral Injury in Immigration Law
DESCRIPTION:Book tickets here \nOverview\n\n\n\n\nThis interactive webinar explores the concept of moral injury in the specific context of immigration and asylum law practice. \n\n\n\n\nLevel: All levels – moral injury is a workplace phenomenon that affects everyone. \nDescription: This interactive webinar explores the concept of moral injury in the specific context of immigration and asylum law practice. Immigration practitioners frequently work within systems that can create ethical tension\, powerlessness\, and exposure to client suffering. Over time\, this can result not only in vicarious trauma and burnout\, but in moral injury. \nThe session will: \n\nDefine moral injury and distinguish it from burnout and vicarious trauma;\nExplore how moral injury manifests in immigration practice specifically;\nIntroduce a simple tool to mitigate the impact of moral injury on wellbeing; and\nConsider how to think strategically about supporting teams with moral injury from a firm-wide level.\n\nThe session is designed to be interactive\, reflective\, practical\, and grounded in the lived experience of immigration practitioners. \nAudience: Immigration and asylum solicitors\, caseworkers\, barristers\, legal aid practitioners\, and others working within the immigration advice and representation sector. \n\n\n\n\nTutors: Dr Natalie Isaia is a Clinical Psychologist and founder of Empresa Psychology. She has over 1500 hours of experience delivering training to teams in high-pressure environments. Natalie has worked with lawyers in both the charity sector and the corporate sector\, and is passionate about supporting the wellbeing and performance of individuals in legal practice.
