On January 29, a workshop titled: "Solutions for the Well-being and Recovery of Ukrainian Media Professionals at Wartime" was held in Kyiv as part of the ReWell-UMedia project.

The workshop brought together media professionals, experts, and civil society representatives to develop practical solutions for professional resilience, well-being, and recovery under wartime conditions.

Opening the event, Olha Herasymiuk, Chair of the National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine, emphasized that Ukraine's media sector has become a space of daily moral effort, long-term stress, and uncertainty — and media professionals should not face these challenges alone.

The discussions were based on findings from an anonymous survey of over 300 Ukrainian media professionals, presented by Hanna Davidenko, Project Lead and Chair of the Board of NGO "Social Perspective." The survey highlighted emotional and physical wellbeing, recovery capacity, workload resilience, and key professional risks. It is part of a broader research initiative, with full results to be presented separately.

During group work facilitated by Inna Lapchevska, participants explored approaches to:

• organizing work processes under stress
• strengthening peer support within media teams
• recovery practices and burnout prevention

The project "Resilience and Well-being of Ukrainian Media Professionals at Wartime" (ReWell-UMedia) is implemented by the NGO "Social Perspective." This initiative has been made possible with the support of UNESCO's Participation Programme, in coordination with the Ukrainian National Commission for UNESCO and the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council of Ukraine.

Thank you to all participants for your engagement and contribution to strengthening resilient journalism in Ukraine.
