The Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma and the Mental Health Commission of Canada invites you to attend a virtual media training, designed by journalists for journalists, on the challenges of reporting on mental health and suicide.
This training is based on the Forum’s work on Mindset, a guide on mental health reporting which "celebrates journalism that challenges wrong and outdated assumptions about mental illness and suicide prevention, provides factual information, and probes unfairness and systemic flaws". More information on the Mindset guide can be found here: http://www.mindset-mediaguide.ca.
