Full description News reports that link mental illness to violence are overrepresented and are among the most stigmatising of portrayals. This world-first research aims to mitigate the impacts of media-driven stigma on people living with severe mental illness. It will test an education intervention with journalism students, trial and evaluate training for media professionals, and assess recent guideline effectiveness. My findings will inform a national implementation strategy for reducing media-based stigma.
