The Mindful Media Lab is based at the Institute for Culture and Media Management at the HfMT Hamburg.
Transfer at the Mindful Media Lab
The Mindful Media Lab contributes knowledge to public discourse and various fields of practice. This includes conference papers, discussions, lectures and keynote speeches, as well as workshops, dialogue formats and professional development programmes. In this way, insights into stress, resilience and leadership are brought into various work and discussion contexts. In our professional development programmes, we teach mental health literacy as a key leadership skill, because how stress is managed is significantly shaped by organisational culture and leadership.
Workshops and Dialogue
The Lab’s workshops and dialogue formats view stress as a structural challenge that arises at the interface between organisations and the public. We focus on the individual and hold the organisation accountable.
Personalised consultancy
Confidential consultations for journalists and managers – tailored to personal stressors and specific challenges in everyday working life.
Workshops & trainings
Practical training for teams and organisations – featuring methods for stress prevention, building resilience and promoting mental health in newsrooms.
Peer-to-peer programs
Exchange on equal terms – we create spaces where journalists can learn from one another, share experiences and experience mutual support.
Support when things get tough Peer support and other resources for journalists
Whether you’re facing immediate stress or have general questions — the Mindful Media Lab is building a growing network of support services. The Netzwerk Recherche helpline is already available free of charge. Calls are treated confidentially and anonymously. You’ll soon find further resources here.
Outside these hours, you can leave a message on our answering machine. We’ll call you back if you’d like.
Or send us an email: helpline(at)nrch.de
Don’t like talking on the phone? Then send us a message on Signal (journalisten_helpline.26).
Embedding practice in research
Insights gained from workshops, dialogue sessions and training courses feed back into the lab’s research and help to further develop its research questions and programmes.
