SUMMARY:Composure in the Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Composure in the Courtroom is a training designed for legal professionals to strengthen resilience\, reduce secondary trauma\, and improve the quality of justice through nervous system regulation and trauma-informed practice. It explains how chronic exposure to high-stress and traumatic material affects the nervous system\, decision-making\, and empathy\, and offers simple\, science-based tools to stay grounded and effective under pressure. The session introduces trauma-informed care principles tailored for attorneys and judges\, emphasizing clear communication\, regulated leadership\, and humane courtroom practices. At its core\, this training reinforces that regulating your own nervous system isn’t just self-care—it’s a professional responsibility that directly influences fairness\, ethics\, and the experience of everyone in the courtroom. \n  \nMeredith Evans\, LMFT\, is a seasoned mental health leader\, therapist\, and currently the Director of Clinical Services at Hope Haven Counseling & Support Center\, an extension of Casa de Esperanza.

She has trained and mentored clinicians\, shaped organizational policy\, and built collaborative initiatives designed to improve outcomes for children\, families\, and communities. Her expertise spans trauma-informed practices\, leadership development\, CalAIM implementation\, and community-based clinical care.  Meredith recently graduated from the California Healthcare Foundation’s Leadership Program as a member of cohort 2023. \nKnown for her warmth\, humor\, and ability to make complex topics accessible and real\, Meredith brings a grounded\, relational presence to every room she enters.
