We are a collective of women and non-binary media safety experts, all with lengthy careers in journalism. Tapping our diverse backgrounds and specialties, we offer holistic, trauma-informed, and identity-centered safety training and consulting to journalists, documentarians, and media makers. Our safety training and advising relies on comprehensive threat modeling and risk assessment that incorporates mental health, cultural environments, digital safety, first aid, and situational awareness. Our approach encourages participants to use their lived experiences and professional resources to come up with mitigation tools that actually fit the individual and meet the challenges of evolving and shifting environments.
