A workshop for law practitioners to create awareness and build competency in emotional literacy to reduce vicarious trauma and the negative impacts of unidentified and unresolved grief.

“Given the intersectionality of emotions and the law, it appears there is a disconnect between Humanities and Law, possibly driven by the concept of objectivity and professional boundaries as a guiding principle. Law in essence enjoys boundaries and predictable outcomes; humanities appreciate boundaries but often operates within the murky realms of human behaviour and relationships.” (Navigating Human to Human Encounters Training, 2022)
