Mental health support built for the realities of journalism
Connecting media professionals with therapists who actually understand the work.
The JTSN differenceWhy choose a JTSN-trained therapist?
Standard therapy often misses the mark for media professionals. Our network is different:
JTSN-trained therapists know journalism culture: They are vetted professionals specifically trained to understand the unique demands, deadlines, and pressures of journalism.
Trauma expertise: JTSN-trained therapists use evidence-based clinical approaches to treat secondary trauma, burnout, and PTSD.
Secure & confidential: JTSN-trained therapists are equipped with advanced digital security protocols to protect your privacy and your sources.
Bridging the gap between journalism & mental health
Journalists serve society on the frontlines, routinely absorbing the trauma of the stories they cover. Too often, this occupational stress goes unnoticed and untreated, leaving reporters to feel that standard therapists “just don't get my job."
JTSN, a program of the Global Center for Journalism and Trauma, is here to change that. By equipping mental health professionals in the community with the clinical tools and industry context to treat media-specific trauma, we aim to ensure journalists finally have access to secure, reliable support.
JTSN has been building a critical community of trauma-trained therapists since 2021. Read more about our mission and impact here, or uncover the full findings, data, and the evolution of this field in our 2025 White Paper.
