In workplaces where harm is often minimized, denied, or reframed, documentation becomes one of the most powerful tools an employee has. This one-hour session goes beyond “keep a record” and teaches participants exactly how to document workplace bullying and psychological harm in a way that is credible, structured, and usable.

Participants will learn how to:

• Capture incidents in real time using clear, fact-based language
• Identify patterns that distinguish isolated conflict from a hostile work environment
• Document behaviors like gaslighting, retaliation, and performance manipulation
• Preserve evidence across emails, meetings, and informal interactions
• Avoid common documentation mistakes that can weaken credibility
• Prepare documentation for internal reports, external complaints, or legal consultation

The session also covers strategic reporting and testimony techniques—how to communicate concerns without overexposure, how to respond to vague or leading questions, and how to maintain control of your narrative in high-risk situations.

This is a practical, real-world guide for anyone navigating workplace harm, as well as professionals supporting others through it.
