The workshop is interactive and engaging way for Journalists to improve their trauma awareness and their skills around interviewing victims.

Room G14, 9 Mappin St

Do you feel comfortable reporting on victims, abuse survivors, people who are distressed, grieving or going through a tough emotional time? How may sensitivity and respect look to your interviewees? Do you feel equipped to handle them and the potential emotional impact on your wellbeing? Do you worry about making things worse for your interviewees?We can often be working with victims, survivors and contributors who are hurting. When done well, these stories can be both impactful and rewarding. The workshop is interactive, engaging and chatty.

They share what helped and whatharmed.</li><li> Insight from seasoned journalists including Louis Theroux</li><li> Share your experience, expertise and observations with each other</li><li>Look after yourself when being exposed to difficult emotional stories</li></ul>
