This training focuses on the first few meetings with a new client and the challenges that those meetings present. Topics discussed will include: the time pressure of preparing a new client for a hearing while that client is still dealing with the trauma of removal; role clarification and boundary-setting; reading the signs of past trauma and its impact on a client’s affect during the early interviews; affective (affective, not effective, but we hope for that too) messaging during the interview as both support and behavioral response; the way shame, sadness, and anger play out in these interviews and some ways to approach and manage, and then return to the preparation for hearing. It will also touch on the when and how of going thru the petition with the new client as well as role play prep for direct and cross.
The format is a directed discussion with Helena Friedman, Jessica Lang, Jay Clark, Lisa Kling and Ellen Broadhurst.
