Episode 3 - Secondary Trauma in Attorneys: A Candid Discussion of Mental Health in Professionals | Brian S. Quinn
In episode 3 of the Law in the Family podcast, cohosts and family law attorneys Aaron Weems & Anthony Hoover talk with Brian Quinn. Attorneys deal with an incredible amount of mental health stress and family law attorneys are no exception. In fact, family law attorneys often endure secondary trauma — trauma that is “passed” from the client to the attorney — more than almost any other practice. They discuss secondary or transferred trauma, the mental health challenges facing attorneys, and ways to cope.
Brian S. Quinn is the education and outreach coordinator for Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania Inc., a lawyers assistance program established in 1988 for the purpose of helping lawyers, judges and law students recover from alcoholism, drug addiction and mental health disorders. Brian is also a licensed attorney having practiced law for over 40 years handling a variety of civil and criminal matters, including family law.
