ROW | Webinar – A Line in the Sand: A lived experience account of workplace trauma and PTSD

Free 

13 September 2023, 12.00-1.00pm (NZST)

Dean Yates was the ideal warzone correspondent: courageous, compassionate, dedicated. After years of facing the worst, including covering the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, one final incident undid him. In this gritty and compelling interview, we chat with Dean, author of Line in the Sand, about his lived experience of trauma, PTSD, moral injury and his three admissions to the Ward 17 psych unit in Melbourne.

Note: This session contains potentially disturbing content that may be distressing for some people.
