dc.description.abstractThe first two tip sheets in this series addressed how to prepare to give testimony and what to expect from the experience. Follow-through, for clinicians, clients, and their caregivers, is another important element in the process. Because testifying in court can be a difficult and stressful experience for clients and their caregivers, it is important for the clinician to follow-up with them, to give them the opportunity to ask questions, and to provide support. It is also essential for clinicians to be aware that testifying can be indirectly traumatizing and that they can seek out strategies for the prevention of secondary traumatic stress.en_US
