Past Events and Engagements
Empower Trial Consulting was honored to present a plenary session at the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR) Annual Conference on Saturday, November 22nd 2025.
Our session, “The Impact of Legal Work on Wellbeing: Strategies for Sustainable Practice,” explored how high-stakes legal advocacy—especially in elder law and long-term care settings—shapes emotional wellbeing, decision-making, and professional resilience.
Co-presenters Dr. Negar Shekarabi, PsyD, and Kara Feldman, LCSW, introduced a practical, trauma-informed framework tailored for attorneys. Participants learned:
The hidden emotional toll of demanding legal cases
How vicarious trauma shows up in legal practice
Sustainable strategies for managing stress and maintaining clarity
Tools for building resilience through boundaries, somatic practices, peer support, and emotional regulation
This dynamic session was designed to help legal professionals continue doing meaningful, client-centered work without sacrificing their wellbeing.
