Participants will have space to share about their personal experiences and concerns, ask questions and identify solutions collectively. The trainers will also offer some practical, evidence-based tools that can help.
The workshop is for any investigative environmental journalist who is concerned about their well-being or just wants to stay healthy and sane in order to continue doing the work they love.
