As family law practitioners are more frequently encountering clients who present as vulnerable, Kelly and Sheena have collaborated to address how to identify behaviour to assess whether clients should be considered vulnerable as well as offering practical advice on how to deal with such clients. They also provide guidance for practitioners on how to protect their own mental health when dealing with vulnerable clients and practical self-care advice.
