In this mega-election year with more than 60 countries hosting elections, multiple global conflicts and an onslaught of harrowing images on social media (both real and AI-generated), journalists and fact-checkers need mental health resources more than ever. As Naseem Miller said recently in a National Press Club panel we participated in<\/a>, journalism is a trauma-facing profession, and few face trauma more directly than fact-checkers, who often must look directly at images of violence, abuse and misinformation in order to assess its accuracy.\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
At The Self-Investigation, we have just launched C\u00f3mo liderar en salud mental para<\/a>, a pilot training and coaching program supported by the International Fact-Checking Network. With five trainings and four coaching calls over the course of 6 months, we’re supporting 14 fact-checking organizations in two cohorts (one in English and one in Spanish) on crucial topics<\/strong> like creating a culture of psychological safety in the team, the basics of mental health and burnout prevention and the importance of digital boundaries.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
These are the 14 organisations that are part of the two cohorts:\u00a0<\/div>

We’ve been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response online. We received dozens of applications, and as this is a pilot, we had to turn down many. But we’ve designed this for longevity \u2014 we’re developing a guide that we can make available to fact-checkers around the world, and with success, we hope to make this coaching and training program available as an ongoing and expansive program.\u00a0<\/div>

Below, please meet our initial cohort of participants<\/strong>, and stay tuned to our blog and newsletter for more updates in the months to come about what we’re learning and discussing.<\/div>
