Session document
In this mega election year with 60+ countries hosting elections, multiple global conflicts, and harrowing images on social media (both real and AI-generated), journalists and fact-checkers need mental health protection more than ever.

Join us for a panel discussion about lessons learned from The Self-Investigation's groundbreaking Mental Health Leadership for Fact-Checkers program. Designed to address the unique challenges faced by leaders in fact-checking organizations, this 6-month training and coaching initiative equips leaders with essential skills and strategies to foster mental health awareness and action within their teams.

This panel discussion will provide early insights into the program's structure, learning objectives, and the transformative impact it aims to achieve, and how anyone working in fact-checking, investigation, and general reporting can benefit from the practices discussed.
