Webinar – How to talk about mental health in the media– a short introduction for journalists

Thursday, 9 October (10:00 – 11:00 CET), Online

The European Commission is organising a webinar for journalists, editors, and all those involved in the media.

Do you know how to talk about mental health in your reporting? Are you aware of the impact of your profession on your mental health? Do you ever notice stigma about talking about mental health problems at work or at home? Have you seen discrimination against someone with a mental health issue?

This webinar will introduce you to mental health specialists explaining modern approaches and understanding of mental health, the causes and effects of stigma and discrimination,  and your role as a journalist in overcoming both.

By the end of this session, you should feel better equipped to talk about and report on mental health issues.
