The training presentation covers not only the guidelines, but includes up to date examples from print and radio, as well as guidance on reporting murder-suicide, court reporting, and working with contributors. Attendees are not required to participate but are welcomed to do so and there is time given to a Q&A. This comprehensive session is designed to give attendees the knowledge and skill set to report responsibly on topics relating to mental illness and suicide.
