Safe Reporting on Suicide

3/24/2016

0 Comments

 
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) has launched another video in their SPARK Talks: Suicide Prevention, Innovation, and Action series.

SPARK Talks are Short, Provocative, Action-oriented, Realistic and Knowledgeable videos of leaders in the suicide prevention movement.  Each of these innovators describes a new development or direction in the field that can have an impact on suicide and issues a call to action.

The latest video focuses on safe reporting - A lot of journalists are unaware that how they cover suicide can be harmful and lead to contagion or copycat suicide. Conversely, new research indicates that reporting on suicide and mental health issues in a way that shows hope and mastery over a crisis can actually reduce the risk of suicide, explains Dan Reidenberg, executive director of Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE). Utah television producer Candice Madsen has turned to suicide experts, such as Reidenberg, to more effectively cover this sensitive topic so that it not only boosts ratings but also saves lives.
