'We are very pleased to support 'The City Wakes' project which will provide people with mental health problems with an opportunity for involvement in an exciting and creative festival of music and arts. The project will challenge traditional stereotypes about mental illness, and complements our own work on tackling discrimination and promoting recovery and social inclusion.'

Shift Media

1 in 6 people will currently be experiencing problems with their mental health. That means that even if you haven't experienced a mental health problem yourself, you almost certainly know many people who have.

The media has a central role in raising awareness about issues that are important in people's lives and our society. We want to help more readers, journalists and communications professionals to be advocates for mental health issues, to encourage and promote better coverage, and to support people affected by mental health problems who want to tell their story.

Shift has launched a new handbook for journalists and editors that looks at reporting mental health and suicide.

Called What's the Story?, the handbook is packed with useful facts, figures and contacts. It is designed to help you do your job when covering these stories, whether you’re a print, broadcast or magazine journalist.

The handbook also contains tips on how best to avoid causing needless offence - or worse - to your many readers and viewers affected by mental health problems. They apply whether you are covering a murder, a suicide or in fact wherever mental health crops up in the news, which can be pretty much anywhere. Our aim is to help you cover these stories properly and, at the same time, improve public understanding and avoid adding to the problems faced by people with mental health problems.

For more information and to find out how you can get your copy of the handbook, visit the What's the Story? website.
