HHR Europe Conference 2012: What Duties? Who Cares? Integrate Your Approach to Health, Safety and Security at Amsterdam, The Netherlands

About me
I'm a clinical psychologist, once upon a time I was an aid worker, then I then figured that most of us need as much support as the 'beneficiaries', so working in partnership with Oxford University, I went on to create Mindfulness for NGOs, a staff-care project that combines Eastern meditation and Western psychology to help relief worker not to go crazy in the madness of this line of work.
