Workshop Review | Mental Health Workshop for Media Outlet Staff


In April 2023, Xiaojie Qin, psychotherapist and the director of CandleX, facilitated a highly engaging and informative workshop on wellbeing and stress management specifically tailored for foreign media outlet staff in Beijing. The workshop aimed to equip the team with essential skills and knowledge to navigate the unique challenges of the fast-paced and demanding media industry in China, particularly with regards to managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.


One of the most notable aspects of the workshop was its casual and interactive format. Participants were seated comfortably around sofas in an intimate setting, fostering a sense of intimacy and camaraderie. With a group of over 10 individuals, Xiaojie led a series of thought-provoking exercises and discussions that encouraged open sharing of experiences and mutual learning. This approach not only made the workshop enjoyable but also strengthened the sense of community and support among the staff, fostering a more positive and supportive work environment.


Another notable highlight of the event was Xiaojie's exceptional expertise and profound compassion. Thanks to the intimate setting of a small group, she was able to address a diverse array of questions and concerns from the staff, offering personalized advice and guidance tailored to their unique needs. This level of personalized care and attention to detail provided staff with a clearer sense of direction as they navigated the challenges of their careers.


At CandleX, we specialize in delivering tailored workshops and presentations that cater to the specific needs of different workplaces. What sets us apart from other mental health and wellbeing providers is twofold: firstly, we have been actively involved in community mental health since 2015, working closely with individuals to understand their personal stories and incorporating these into our workshops, adding depth and engagement beyond just theoretical knowledge. Secondly, Xiaojie, as a multi-faceted mental health professional with extensive experience in both individual and couple counseling, is highly sought-after by many workplaces for her ability to deliver experiential workshops that emotionally engage and resonate with participants.
