Have Your Say
The media have a central role to play in reducing stigma and raising awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention. Headline frequently contacts journalists and broadcasters to comment on media coverage and encourage responsible and accurate reporting of suicide and mental health issues.
However, we believe that everyone has a role to play in stigma reduction. We are all entitled to express our opinions on how the media portrays mental health issues and suicide. We are encouraging people to speak out and use their voices to improve the quality of media coverage of suicide and mental health issues.
When readers, listeners and viewers contact media sources it has a huge impact, so why not take action and make your voice heard.
