Fellows announced for Complexities of Mental Health training

The National Press Foundation has chosen 20 journalists for in-depth training to explore the complexities of mental health reporting.

Over four days, journalists will dive into a range of topics, including diagnosis and intervention; developments in treatment and research; economic impact; demographics; mental health legislation and public policy reforms; successful models in crisis intervention training for law enforcement; and community-based care. They’ll look at best practices for reporting on mental illness and mental health policy, with a focus on how to approach reporting on crimes involving the mentally ill.  This journalist training is Sept. 18-21, 2016, in Washington, D.C.
