Female and aged 20-50? I'm Hannah Davies and I'm a freelance journalist currently writing a feature on bullying in the workplace for one of the women's magazines. I need to find a woman aged between 20 and 50 in the UK who has suffered at the hands of bullies who would be happy to talk to the magazine about their experiences and be photographed. Their story needs to be very strong. If you can help please call me on 07966 549321 or 020 8488 0971 or email hannah_davies@btconnect.com

Are you a teenager being bullied? I'm Sharon Ward and I'm a writer working for BEST magazine. I am looking for a teenager to talk to me about what it's like to be a bullying victim. We can pay them for their story but we would need pictures. My phone number is 01905 759795 or e-mail sharon@headlinefeatures.freeserve.co.uk

Burnt out, stressed, unable to cope? Do you sometimes feel that your life and your job is spinning out of control? If so we would like to hear from you. Has stress affected your life and if so how? The BBC are working on a new BBC 1 series examining who are the most stressed-out people in the country, what causes stress and what it feels like. If you're in the UK and you have a story to tell, either about yourself, family, friends or colleagues then tell us your experiences. You can email us at mike.matthews.01@bbc.co.uk or better still, talk to your home video and send the tape to us at: Stress, C/O Room G509, BBC White City, London W12 7TS.

Anger: I'm Jo Barr and I'm making a documentary about the growing problem of anger in today¹s society, and to this end am looking for people with anger management issues to take part. You could be from any kind of background, of any age (as long as you are over 18 years) and we will be looking at all sorts of anger issues. If you feel that you would benefit from a two day intensive anger management course with the British Association of Anger Management I would like to hear from you.  We would cover all fees, accommodation and food for the duration of the course. In return, we would have your permission to be filmed before, during and also for a period after the course, as you put your newly acquired anger management skills into practice. The whole filming process should take no more than four weeks on and off. We would also arm you with a home video camera so you can record your own video diaries over this period. Please email me on jo.barr@granadamedia.com  if you think you¹d like to take part or would like to know more.

Award-winning TV documentary company is currently undertaking research into social work: we are seeking ex social workers with recent frontline child protection assessment experience who would be interested in working on the documentary with us. If you are interested please contact Carl Callam on 020 7286 0333 or email carlc@filmsofrecord.com
