"After the blaze I kept feeling like I was missing something. Wallet, parts of my face, my entire body even as I was holding my wallet, could see my reflected face, & far as I could tell, was still fairly alive. Still I wasn’t so sure." -Henrick Karoliszyn https://t.co/dsEds8V8k3

In this incredible piece for @Newsweek , Henrick Karoliszyn @Henrick_AK details his own experience as a crime reporter to highlight the need for mental health care services among journalists, and freelancers in particular. Please read and share. https://t.co/CHlQDq697s
I was lucky enough to work w Henrick the reporter in those days...and unlucky enough to relate to the trauma he’s put into words here.
But instead of running from it, he studied it, named it, and is building resources to support freelancers out there without a safety net. Bravo.
