Dr. Anne Hallward is the host and founder of Safe Space Radio and a board certified psychiatrist in Portland, Maine.[1] She is Assistant Clinical Professor at Tufts University Medical School, supervising psychiatry residents at Maine Medical Center. In 2017, she was awarded the Gracie Award for the Best host of a Local Public Radio show, by the National Alliance for Women in Media.[2]

Early Life and Education:[edit]

Dr. Hallward was raised in Montreal, Canada as one of six children.[3] She went to college at Harvard, where she wrote her thesis in social studies about the role of the Catholic Church in the People Power revolution in the Philippines.[4] She then attended Harvard Medical School and completed her residency in psychiatry.[5]

Career[edit]

While on the faculty at Harvard Medical School, she co-designed and taught courses on death and dying, cultural humility, sexuality, and psychiatric interviewing.[6] She works to make it possible to learn about the subjects that are the hardest to talk about to reduce shame, stigma and traumatic silence. In 2008 she founded Safe Space Radio: the show about the subjects we would struggle with less if we could talk about them more.[7] It was one of the first mental health podcasts in the United States. After over 300 broadcast shows, beginning at WMPG in Portland, and then broadcast nationally on NPR stations, Safe Space Radio ended its fifteen year run in June of 2023.[8]
