In a joint media release with other NSW mental health peak bodies, the Mental Health Coordinating Council (MHCC) and @beingmentalhealthconsumers, MHCN urges the media to better understand how to portray people living with mental health challenges in the news and all forms of communication.

The widespread stigma surrounding mental ill health leads to misconceptions about the risk posed by individuals experiencing mental health issues. The public must be presented with correct information so that they can empathise with the difficulties people face, rather than be made fearful through sensational reporting of situations involving people experiencing mental health challenges or critical events.

It is easy to make assumptions about what may have led to an event occurring when, in fact, there is much more complexity and detail required to fully understand why an event took place.
