Meet the Media Series

Time to change are planning to host a series of events for media professionals that focus on best practice, encourage debate and support the attendees to feel confident in writing or reporting about mental health sensitively and accurately

We have already held a successful evening event for magazine journalists, for writers of soaps and dramas and also an event aimed at broadcast journalists based at the BBC. 

• each event will each focus on a different output or a different genre
• it is hoped that these events will encourage journalists to talk about how mental health is covered and hear from some top names in their industry 
• we think the best way for people to find out more about what it is like to live with a mental health problem is to meet those of us who have direct experience of mental health problems
• the next event is  aimed at documentary makers and will be held on June 24th see here for more details. 

In the meantime why not watch this clip from EastEnder's team talking about how best to write and direct a storyline involving a charactor with mental health problems.
