The Self-Investigation - Free stress management program for journalists

A FREE ONLINE STRESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR JOURNALISTS

The Self-Investigation is a free online program designed to support journalists with knowledge and evidence-based practices they can use to relate to stress and digital overload in a healthier way.

This is an opportunity to get access to ongoing support from professionals so you can feel more balanced and tap into your innate resilience. We run an English language edition in July and have a Spanish language edition in September.

“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
