SANE StigmaWatch
SANE Australia is a national mental health charity working to support four million Australians affected by complex mental illness.
SANE StigmaWatch was developed by SANE in partnership with Mindframe to ensure media outlets report safely and accurately on mental health concerns and suicide.
Anyone can report a media item to StigmaWatch. If the coverage does not align with media reporting guidelines, StigmaWatch will contact the media outlet involved with constructive feedback and advice.
The SANE StigmaWatch criteria for reporting uses the Mindframe media reporting guidelines.
