Unscripted TV: Managing Difficult Material

WFTV members working in unscripted TV are invited to this online workshop, where you’ll be introduced to a toolkit to help you manage difficult material whilst working on programmes with distressing or sensitive content.

The session will act as an introduction to what trauma is and may look and feel like in yourself and others. It will also touch upon why you, and your team, can be affected by working on traumatic content, what happens when you’re affected, and what basic steps you can take to protect yourself and others.

There will be an opportunity to ask host Camilla Wells questions during the last 15 minutes of the session.
