Apply for Journalism and Trauma Retreat for Regional Journalists – Australia

Journalists working in regional areas sometimes have less support than their city counterparts, and often experience different kinds of trauma exposure (for example, trauma that impacts their own communities, family and friends).

This weekend program will involve group interactions and experiences, supplemented with more formal learning about trauma and its impacts. It is designed to help you to identify trauma responses in yourself and others, interview trauma survivors, support colleagues in your newsroom, and build a protection plan for your trauma exposure, including exposure from technology-facilitated violence and abuse.

The program will be held on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria on October 4-6 2024.

Eligible Cost

• Funding does not extend to covering the full cost of participant travel to and from the retreat venue, however you will receive a $150 travel contribution towards the cost of making your own way to and from the retreat venue.
• The full cost of the program including accommodation and all meals will be covered by Dart Centre Asia Pacific.
