The OPC and the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma will host a 90-minute training session on coping with stress, burnout, and trauma on the job. The session will cover the basics of self-care and collegial support, including the impact of covering trauma and tragedy on journalists, and offer concrete guidance and techniques for enriching one’s coping skills and wellness and building resilient news teams.
The training will include a slide presentation and briefing, as well as a Q&A.
The training is limited to 50 participants.
Registrants will receive a link to join the program via Zoom on the day of the event. If you register but find you cannot attend, we ask that you email us at info@opcofamerica.org so we can give people on our waiting list the chance to participate.
The trainer is Elana Newman, Ph.D., the McFarlin Professor of Psychology at the University of Tulsa, and has conducted research on a wide range of topics regarding the psychological and physical response to traumatic life events, assessment of PTSD in children and adults, journalism and trauma, and understanding the impact of participating in trauma-related research from the trauma survivor’s perspective.
