Trauma: Dealing with online harassment

Skill:

Level:

    • Many of us have experienced trauma on the job, whether observed in the community or felt personally as a result of the public service we provide. The challenges we face are both complex and delicate. Navigating them means equipping us collectively to have an informed conversation and to have the tools necessary to be aware of how trauma can impact us.

    The Dart Center, which works with news organizations around the globe to educate and raise awareness about trauma in journalism, provided our journalists with two workshops recently. The first shared some of the foundational learnings around how we absorb and process trauma, as well as practical tips for self-care and how to deal with online harassment.
