Description:

Our latest Live Web Seminar Series -- Health and Safety On Mission -- seeks to generate discussion and lively debate surrounding the challenges and issues related to personal health, safety, and professional and personal satisfaction through narrative experiences and expert experience.

The purpose of this Live Web Seminar was to discuss preventive and mitigation strategies with humanitarian professionals who may face the risk of being kidnapped on mission. Drawing from experts in this field, Dr. Stephen Morris and Claude Bruderlein reviewed the potentially traumatic implications of such tragedy and allowed participants to share their views.
