Developed by Laura Rosefield and Hannah Budd of Rosefield Divorce Consultancy, this training combines neuroscience, practical skills, and real client examples to help family law professionals understand trauma, recognise it in clients, and adapt how they work as a result.
Hosted at Killik & Co, this one-off, in-person training session is a wonderful opportunity to learn from two highly respected specialists in the sector. Lunch will be provided during the break.
Your ticket price will fund 3 hours of support sessions at one of our services, helping us continue our commitment to access to justice. Thank you for your support.

- Practical techniques to help clients regulate their nervous systems
- Vicarious traumatic stress as an occupational hazard for family law professionals
