"Journalist's Identity: Balance Between Life and Work." – psychological training for media workers

September 19, 2023

On August 30, a training for media workers took place in Kyiv titled "Journalist's Identity: Balance Between Life and Work."

Fourteen representatives of leading Ukrainian media attended the training. Participants discussed signs of burnout, prevention methods, and techniques to improve well-being. Also, our psychologists, Kateryna Tyshchenko and Volodymyr Pankov, debated the ethical communication rules when covering sensitive topics with the attendees.

Once again, I was convinced that media during wartime is a huge contribution to the battle in the information space. And those people who take on the coverage of complex topics and events every day are also, in a way, superheroes who provide Ukrainians with information, knowledge, and understanding that we are not alone.

We are grateful to journalists for their time and interest in mental health.
