Caring for Contributors and Crews

Contributor welfare is once again making headlines in the UK following allegations from three former Married at First Sight participants of sexual misconduct and inadequate welfare support during production. What can the industry learn from the renewed debate?

Meet TV and media psychologist Jo Hemmings and gain insight into her work behind the scenes with production companies and broadcasters across the UK and North America. With more than 20 years of experience in television, she specialises in supporting contributors and production crews before, during and after production.

Join us for a session on best practice in contributor welfare, from recognising trigger points in aftercare to implementing Mental Health First Aid for production crews.

While the examples are drawn from reality television, the insights are relevant to anyone working with contributors across unscripted genres.
