May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, a pivotal time for media, medical professionals and policymakers to unite in addressing the profound impact of mental health on individuals, families and communities.
Broadcast networks and local TV and radio stations provide Americans’ most trusted news, and take seriously their responsibility to provide accurate, useful public health information. NAB provides stations with tools for mental health coverage, including reporting resources and PSAs to promote the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
In addition, broadcasters across the country are interviewing local experts and providing actionable tools to help their communities break the stigma around mental health. See a selection of these pieces at America’s Stories, and learn more about broadcasters’ work in your community at We Are Broadcasters.
