What they say about us
The Self-Investigation is an essential tool for today’s journalists to be able to cope with toxic digital environments (...) and to look into themselves and their mental and physical health.
Carla Minet
Executive Director, Centro de Periodismo Investigativo (Puerto Rico)
I really appreciated the boundary setting exercises (...) making sure you are setting boundaries both for yourself and your colleagues, with your supervisors and the people you supervise.
Jonah Newman
Editor, Injustice Watch (USA)
I had a coaching session and for me that was an eye opener. I learned how to be more myself, figure out what is holding me back (...) and how to draw the line on certain issues.
Carol Beyanga
Head of Partnership and Monetisation, Monitor Publications Limited (Uganda)
It's really important for journalists to learn about stress management tools and techniques and also to learn about their stress triggers. In my opinion, if you don’t learn about it beforehand, you will learn about it one way or another, but it might just be a little too late.
