Tell the stories that matter, better. An experienced senior journalist, I train journalists, media teams and aid workers to become trauma aware: protecting themselves, their contributors and their employers.I devised BBC in-house training in Trauma Reporting and work with hundreds of news and media professionals globally from the UK to the US to Ukraine. I also work with students of journalism, having guest lectured at Oxford, London, Princeton and Boston.The author of Trauma Reporting, A Journalist's Guide to Covering Sensitive Stories and the UNESCO document Safety of Journalists Covering Trauma and Distress, Do No Harm, I have presented my work to the UN in Bangkok and the WHO in Geneva. I train reporters and content producers how best to work with victims, survivors and vulnerable interviewees and how to look after their own well being while they do so. The training programme is CPD professionally assessed and accredited and gets terrific feedback Here's how I can help:* Effective, engaging interactive, live online training sessions to become trauma aware* Sharing the insight of interviewees who chose to speak to journalists at tough emotional times.
