Vicarious trauma occurs when working with or having exposure to trauma victims. Hearing firsthand from someone who is suffering from a recent traumatic event can lead to trauma symptoms in the listener. Vicarious trauma is not just stress writ large. It is a serious and significant set of responses and behaviors that can have lasting effects if not recognized and managed. This session will explore the differences between stress and vicarious trauma, provide clues for recognizing and distinguishing between them, and suggest appropriate ways to deal with both.
Karen Adam retired from the bench in November 2015 after 34 years of service as a Tucson City Court Magistrate, a Superior Court Commissioner, and a Superior Court Judge. As presiding judge of the Pima County Juvenile Court from 2011-2014, Judge Adam led the effort to convert PCJCC to a trauma-responsive court. She facilitated a trauma audit of the Court, and implemented many of the recommendations, including training for all court employees and system partners in trauma and vicarious trauma.
Judge Adam is a member of the Self-Represented Litigants Network, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ), the Arizona and National Chapters of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts. She is president of the board of the Children’s Center for Law and Policy and teaches and consults on Family Treatment Drug Court grants and programs.
Judge Adam writes and lectures on juvenile and family law topics and has served as faculty for the National Judicial College since 2007 and as a Professor of Practice for the University of Arizona Rogers College of Law since 2018.
