On May 6, as part of the Media Mobility Hub and the Open Media Stories initiative, a free webinar “Resilience for journalists – learning how to handle yourself” took place.
The speakers were Andriy Sydorenko, consultant on organizational and team development and manager of special projects at Souspilnist Foundation, and Anastasiia Nizhnik, CBT consultant and therapist, founder of BrainCult.
The topics under discussion included: creating quality journalism, coping with stress and overcoming communication barriers; finding correct professional solutions, looking for sources of inner strength and holding up well; countering threats and learning from crisis experience.
Working in a team, it is necessary to understand management principles in the first place: understanding your area of responsibility, expectations of each other, i.e. the willingness to communicate and the ability to engage in dialogue. Mental health is not something entirely individual – we may use different practices being as strong and resilient as possible, but if we fail to learn to communicate and interact in a healthy environment in the organization, the problem will remain unresolved.
