The International Women’s Media Foundation provides holistic and identity-informed safety resources to journalists and newsrooms, including emergency assistance for journalists who have experienced traumatic events to access mental health services. We have seen the demand for therapy support increase significantly in the past years, including the need to increase the number of psychologists who understand the occupational hazards of being a journalist.

Mental Health as a Collective: The Newsroom as the First Place of Support

English

In this case study session, we share and analyze the experience of the feminist digital media outlet "Alharaca" (El Salvador) and our collective approach to addressing mental health in the workplace. We will explore how we have created a culture of care among journalists and shifted towards viewing mental health care as a team issue, where the newsroom becomes a primary space for support and accompaniment when facing the emotional and psychological challenges posed by working in high-risk contexts with restrictions on freedom of expression, as is the case in El Salvador. We will also discuss strategies to fund this component and how we made it an integral part of our operations and budgets.

Lightning Talk / Charla relámpago

Using Virtual Reality in Safety Training to Build Journalists' Mental Resilience in War Zones
Katerina Sergatskova
This lightning talk is focused on mental health support for journalists working and living in war zones. You will learn how 2402 Foundation, a non-profit initiative launched in the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, provides essential mental health training and support to media professionals facing extreme stress and trauma. We build a safety culture and use technologies like AI and virtual reality to make the learning process more effective as the full-scale war demands innovative and sufficient solutions.
Mental Disorder Stigmatization and Journalism
Fira Abdurachman
This lightning talk presents findings from recent digital research published in a national accreditation journal, focusing on how journalists often use terms related to mental disorders to sensationalize unusual behavior. Instead of offering support, these portrayals create a parade of stigma. This session will explore how journalists can shift away from harmful stereotypes and promote more responsible, supportive coverage of mental health issues. For more details, access the research https://ejournal.uika-bogor.ac.id/index.php/Hearty/article/view
Beyond the Headlines: Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Media Workers in Conflict Zones
David Amiryan and Seda Muradyan
The Public Journalism Club's research on the 2020 war in Nagorno-Karabakh, followed by the forced deportation of 120,000 Armenians from the region in 2023, has highlighted the intense and multifaceted challenges faced by journalists operating in this conflict zone as well as when covering post-war developments. This session will shine a light on the unique and often underreported research findings of the obstacles they face for self-care or mental care activities. Expect practical recommendations tailored for media workers on strategies to safeguard their mental well-being in high-stress environments. In addition, there will be actionable suggestions for media managers on how to institutionalize mental health support and manage professional burnout within their organizations effectively.
From Nigeria to Africa: Influencing Perceptions on Mental Health
Gbenga Adekeye
In this lightning talk, we will explore how innovative Nigerian and African journalism is transforming perceptions of mental health across the continent. I will highlight impactful case studies to demonstrate how storytelling, social media campaigns, and anonymous platforms are breaking down stigma and fostering open discussions. The talk will also emphasize the importance of supporting journalists in their mental health journey, ensuring they can continue to be powerful advocates for change. Join us to discover the role of media in creating a more informed and empathetic society regarding mental health in Africa.
The Additional Burden of Environmental Reporting: How to Handle It?
Irene Baños Ruiz
Climate and environmental journalists face a daunting challenge: dealing with the emotional burden of reporting on a life threat with seemingly no remedy. As they navigate a relentless stream of catastrophic news, many experience frustration and exhaustion. Constant exposure to these distressing realities adds to precarious working conditions and dwindling public trust.
How to foster resilience among climate and environmental journalists, and ensure that those reporting on the planetary crisis can continue to inform and inspire action without compromising their own well-being?
The Power of Owning Your Own Narrative
Klaudia Lagozinski
Writing about your own mental health issues? About self-doubt, depression, medication, therapy & ADHD? Doing that, you put yourself in a vulnerable spot. Klaudia did it despite worries of being stigmatized or taken less seriously as a journalist and news desk manager. She realized: her doubts were unfounded. Instead, she had encouraging interactions afterwards, both with colleagues and readers. In this lightning talk she shares how she used her journalistic writing and research skills and introspection to create space for more discourse about mental health.
Embracing the Hunter Mindset: 5 strategies for ADHD journalists
Marguerite Meyer and Patrick Boehler
This lightning talk explores the hunter vs. farmer hypothesis of ADHD, which posits that ADHD traits were advantageous for hunters in ancient societies but may pose challenges in modern, "farmer"-oriented work environments. Speakers will discuss how journalists with ADHD can leverage their unique "hunter" strengths, such as hyperfocus, creativity, and adaptability, while navigating potential obstacles. Through personal anecdotes and practical tips, they will share their learnings and strategies for avoiding burnout, maintaining work-life balance, and harnessing the sprint-rest cycle for productivity.
Organizational Actions to Support Journalists
Valérie Bélair-Gagnon
This session will offer practical insights into how organizations can effectively support journalists, drawing from key takeaways in the Happiness in Journalism book. Explore actionable strategies and examples of how organizations can foster a supportive environment to enhance journalists' well-being and resilience.

Thursday October 10, 2024 18:30 - 19:20 CEST

En ocasiones, al terminar una investigación en la que trabajamos arduamente, nos damos cuenta que el impacto que generó fue mínimo. ¿Cómo continuamos después de ese silencio? ¿Cómo salvaguardamos la ilusión por nuestra profesión a pesar de sentirnos desconectados de quienes nos leen, a pesar del burnout, la explotación laboral y el agotamiento? ¿Cómo encontramos un propósito en las historias que contamos?

Creemos que una forma de revalorizar lo que hacemos es regresando a la calle, a la presencialidad. En este panel, tres periodistas conversaremos sobre cómo llevar el trabajo al ámbito creativo y presencial nos ayuda a reconectar con otros y aliviar la frustración. Esto acompañado de una psicóloga que explicará cómo estos esfuerzos pueden brindarnos bienestar.

Qué deberían saber los psicólogos para ayudar a periodistas

Thursday October 10, 2024 18:30 - 19:20 CEST

Español

La Fundación Internacional de las Mujeres en los Medios (IWMF, por sus siglas en inglés) proporciona recursos de seguridad holísticos e informados por la identidad a periodistas y medios de comunicación, incluyendo asistencia de emergencia para que periodistas que han vivido eventos traumáticos puedan acceder a servicios de salud mental. En los últimos años, hemos visto un aumento significativo en la demanda de apoyo terapéutico, incluyendo la necesidad de incrementar el número de psicólogos que entienden los riesgos ocupacionales de ser periodista. La IWMF ha colaborado con Vinland Solutions, con el apoyo de la UNESCO, para desarrollar un manual internacional destinado a capacitar a psicólogos especializados en estrés postraumático para ofrecer una atención adecuada y eficaz a los periodistas. Únete a nosotros en este taller facilitado por la IWMF y liderado por Ana Zellhuber, donde compartiremos las conclusiones clave para promover el bienestar de los periodistas.

¿Qué características necesitan los líderes para promover una cultura de trabajo mentalmente saludable? ¿Qué acciones están llevando a cabo las organizaciones fuera del periodismo para cuidar de sus empleados? Exploraremos esta y otras preguntas en una conversación con Noemí Boza, socia de Más Cuota, una empresa que promueve el liderazgo consciente y el bienestar a través de formación, eventos y publicaciones entre las que se encuentra “Mi Empresa es Saludable”.
