The Wellbeing Monthly: Once a Month Psychosocial Educational Workshop for Digital Rights Defenders

Team CommUNITY is happy to announce The Wellbeing Monthly, where once a month we host a psychosocial educational workshop designed for digital rights defenders (DRDs). The series will run from June to December.

The monthly virtual workshop will be led by diverse mental health professionals, and will focus on psychoeducation and coping mechanisms on diverse topics including anxiety and fear, guilt and survivors guilt, defeat and hopelessness, trauma, and burnout and stress. Each session will last 60 minutes, with time included for questions and answers.

This series is part of TCU’s effort to provide DRDs with the support they need to deal with the impact of their work, and improve their self-care regime. The once a month approach allows all of us, even the busiest of us, to learn in a sustainable way how to take better care of ourselves.

As speakers are confirmed each month, we will be listing the workshops on our wiki here, and promoting them on our diverse communication channels - so stay tuned!
