We’ll be joined by Dr Elizabeth Paton from Mindframe to speak on how to safely and responsibly report on mental health concerns, suicide and alcohol and other drug use within your community.
We learned about:
- The importance of non-stigmatising or glamourising language
- How to safely approach stories without detailing information that can be harmful to audiences
- Understanding the evidence and the Mindframe principles
- How to identify and create content that aligns with the guidelines
If these topics have raised any issues for you, you can contact:
