Session document

In the last few years, many journalists and editorial offices have been forced to move out of Russia and Belarus due to repressive actions and government censorship. Journalists forced to leave their countries and move elsewhere are currently facing multiple crises at the same time: burnout, despair, inability to change the situation, cancel culture, isolation from colleagues (as many teams are distributed), crises of emigration, and difficulties in integrating into societies in new countries, etc.

Our team of psychologists based in Lithuania has worked with journalists in exile for over 1.5 years, providing individual sessions, support groups, training, and mental health surveys. We’d like to share our experience and observations and hear the opinions of our colleagues facing the same issues.
