'We call it safety planning': A trauma-informed approach to litigation

Description

We normally focus on the tense negotiations and courtroom battles between plaintiff lawyers and defendants. For our clients, however, that's just one aspect of a compensation claim. Many are dealing with complex trauma, and the justice system is full of triggers. In the final episode of season two, Restitution speaks to Karen Spitz, lead counsellor at Shine Lawyers. It's her job to help clients like Julia Reid safely navigate the litigation process.
