‘Working Effectively with High-Stress Clients’ explored
The Oakland County Bar Association will present a webinar on “Practical Strategies for Working Effectively with High-Stress Clients” Thursday, September 17, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Attorneys representing individuals in the criminal justice system regularly work with clients facing significant stress, complex personal circumstances, and high-stakes legal matters that can create challenges in communication and maintaining productive relationships.
This training provides practical, evidence-informed strategies for understanding behaviors commonly encountered in legal practice and responding in ways that support effective attorney-client interactions. Participants will learn communication techniques and behavioral tools to assist clients experiencing heightened stress, mistrust, emotional dysregulation, or other barriers to engagement.
The program will also address the occupational impact of representing clients in crisis, including strategies for maintaining professional boundaries, sound judgment, and long-term effectiveness.
Speaking at the webinar will be Shannon Laskey of Michigan Counseling Collaborative.
Credit has been approved with the Oakland County Bar Association for 1.5 Criminal credit.
Cost for the webinar is $30 for OCBA members and $40 for non-member. Oakland County appointed counsel can attend for free. To register, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”`
