Headlines Network has worked with Dr Sian Williams to create a series of short videos for journalists who are likely to cover potentially traumatic breaking news stories and for the newsrooms and people who deploy journalists to cover those stories.
For many of us, reacting to difficult situations and challenging environments is a part of our job. In this series of videos, Dr Sian Williams - broadcaster and NHS psychologist - explains how our brains and bodies respond to distressing events, and how developing an awareness of this can help normalise those responses.
This video series, complemented by a written document, show that journalists are resilient, but they do risk being affected by trauma, and therefore underlines the importance of preparing individually, and as a team, to understand the support mechanisms in place before, during and after difficult deployments.
