Help tackle stigma in the media surrounding mental illness and suicide.
SANE Australia’s StigmaWatch program was established to promote the responsible reporting of mental illness and suicide in the Australian media.
"When we have weeks where the stigma in the media is so continuous, it’s like a wall. It’s like a wall of noise."
People affected by complex mental health issues and suicide, their families, and other carers tell their stories and speak out about the impact of stigma on their lives.
Peer Ambassador Cameron talks about his experience in the powerful video above.
The Australian media should follow these guidelines when reporting on mental illness and suicide.
