Details:
From “burnout” and “quiet quitting” to a surge in psychiatric drug prescriptions, mental health is top of mind for millions of U.S. adults.
These Americans spend a majority of their time at work, giving employers enormous potential influence on their mental health and well-being. What do workers want? How are businesses adapting? And what does research and evidence tell them?
To encourage accurate, nuanced and in-depth journalism on mental health issues, treatments and advances at work, the National Press Foundation will hold a two-day training fellowship in Washington, D.C., May 21-22, 2024.
Selected journalists will hear from expert speakers and instructors and have the opportunity to attend the Carolyn C. Mattingly Award for Mental Health Reporting winner’s reception. NPF offers this professional development opportunity for journalists to enhance skills, increase knowledge and recharge their reporting.
The foundation will cover airfare, hotel costs and most meals.
Eligible Applicants
- This is a competitive program open to U.S. journalists only. They greatly value diversity in all the programs and particularly seek applications from journalists of color, those reporting for marginalized communities and reporters for local and nonprofit news organizations. Journalists in any medium are encouraged to apply.
- Please note: While mental health for journalists is an important issue that NPF addresses across many training programs, this fellowship is not specifically geared toward newsroom mental health.
