The Hidden Toll: An Honest Conversation on Compassion Fatigue in Legal Work 

 

This program will explore the often-overlooked impact of empathic strain (often referred to as compassion fatigue) in today’s legal environment. With ongoing and rapid changes across the profession, attorneys are being asked to absorb more uncertainty, carry heavier emotional burdens, and support clients who are themselves facing profound instability.

Through an open and practical discussion, participants will gain a clearer understanding of what compassion fatigue is, how it manifests, and the ways it can quietly affect well-being and professional performance.

Join the conversation Tuesday, January 27th at 2pm ET to learn practical strategies to foster a meaningful and sustainable legal practice. 

Presented by the D.C. Bar Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP).
