A lot of Wikimedians consider digital security as something needed in other spaces - not on the Wikimedia projects. Through my work as a Trust and Safety specialist for the Wikimedia Foundation I have become aware of many different reasons why it is also of high importance onwiki. I will present my learnings in a quick introductory statement to the room and then open the floor up for discussions. This session will not be recorded and photographers will be asked to not take pictures.

Mental health is increasingly becoming a subject well talked about subject across the world. This session seeks to give more insights into ways the Wikimedia movement can embrace it and safeguard the sanity of some of it's volunteers. Often times issue's of mental health isn't readily discussed both in the movement and across the world. Issue's of harassment on and off the wiki can be hard for first time editors and experienced editor's as well hence could pose a challenge to their mental health. We want to use this session to start a conversation around mental health in the Wikimedia movement and get the T & S team in the Wikimedia Foundation on board.
