Always an honour to clap my Ulster University Journalism students across the stage on graduation day. These people are the reason I work day and night towards healthier newsrooms. I am leading my students there, I want them to be able to thrive. The world needs journalists now more than ever

Delighted my MediaStrong Newsroom Mental Wellbeing Training, that I deliver to students at Ulster University, is shortlisted for an @nctj.bsky.social Innovation Excellence Award. Ensuring journalists have resources and knowledge they need to survive and thrive in challenging environments is crucial

Journalists see and experience so many things in a working day. How do you decompress after a particularly tough one? After 25 years in journalism, I found nostalgic films were one of the things that helped me when I’d come home and let the emotional barrier fall. What works for you? #journalism

Journalists often put up emotional barriers to protect themselves from the events and incidents they cover. It can help and hinder in equal measure #Journalism #MentalHealth

Journalism is a proud, noble and challenging job, and the stories can take their toll on us. Journalists are exposed to a high volume of trauma - far from warzones - on a weekly basis. Court cases, inquests, crime, tragedy can land on us. Our journalists must be supported in newsrooms #Journalist

We are working to better newsroom mental health and journalism wellbeing worldwide. Please do join us in this quest #Journalism #Health #Wellbeing
