Description
Session 1: Intake and Initial Meetings (2 hrs.)
We start the course at the start of the case. Presented with a fact pattern, we discuss intake techniques to identify the primary strengths, weaknesses, and strategy decisions arising in a fictitious client’s cases. We identify critical facts that remain unknown and discuss how to learn them. Throughout, we remember the impacts of trauma on how the client presents in initial meetings, and how we can help minimize retraumatization.
