## Resource

Former Reuters Bureau Chief, Author and Workplace Mental Health Advocate Dean Yates spent 26 years reporting from the front lines of history - including the Bali bombings, Boxing Day tsunami and Iraq War. After experiencing PTSD and moral injury following the deaths of Reuters staff in Iraq, Dean transformed his personal struggles into advocacy, leadership and systemic workplace mental health reform. His powerful story has been featured on ABC’s Australian Story.   Dean shares his journey through trauma, recovery and organisational betrayal - exploring the difference between PTSD and moral injury, the unexpected care and connection he found during his admissions to Ward 17 and the importance of psychologically safe workplaces. He also reflects on spirituality, forgiveness and rebuilding life after trauma. Keep track of new stories at https://conflictstories.com . Hosted on Acast.
