The Self-Investigation - Free stress management program for journalists

Sustaining journalism by enhancing journalists’ wellbeing

AN ONLINE STRESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Self-Investigation is an initiative that provides a variety of solutions aimed at improving journalists’ wellbeing. It is led by multi-lingual coaches and trainers with five decades of media experience combined.

Our courses use evidence-based practices so journalists can relate to stress and digital overload in a healthier way. We also strive to support managers and under-served groups such as freelancers and women.

We have already trained more than 260 journalists on four continents in response to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our services include stress management courses, digital wellness training and one-on-one coaching.

Mar Cabra, investigative journalist and trainer
“Journalists are under more pressure than ever. This program offers you the perfect excuse to take time out for yourself. This is not self-indulgence but a precondition for being at your best.”
Kim Brice, resilience trainer and personal development coach
