That is good to hear. We had to start our own wellness program in the wake of Uber/Lyft/ for-hire vehicle driver suicides in NYC. We got a grant to our nonprofit and now have free counseling in several languages, helping drivers who faced violence, bankruptcy, discrimination etc
With everything that journalists face around the world, I am very thankful to work for an organization that, at every turn, takes our safety seriously. Up to and including mental health support.

We also had to advocate for our own safety. We do background checks, drug tests, fingerprints, exams, and riders do none of those and use fake names and no photos. We have been calling for a better balance.
