A little over two years ago, I wrote publicly for the first time about my diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. Before then, it had taken me many years to seek help, held back by shame and isolation. But in the months after my diagnosis, I decided to share my experiences, hoping it might help others feel less alone.I was humbled by the response to my piece in Poynter. From around the world, people wrote to say my story resonated. I realized I could combine my personal experiences of surviving trauma with my professional insights into journalism and media safety.I made it my mission to encourage more open and inclusive conversations around mental health in the news media.
Origen: The news industry has made progress in prioritizing mental health. It’s not enough. – Poynter
