Mindset is Canada’s only journalist-to-journalist guide on mental health reporting.


The guide itself is available as a booklet or a downloadable PDF. It is written by experienced journalists with general-assignment reporters in mind and includes best practice checklists on each topic for quick reference. 

This website offers further material, including videos, podcasts, links to research and other useful sources to help reporters going more deeply into topics or issues.

André Picard, Health Reporter and Columnist, Globe and Mail

 “Canadian reporting about mental health has come a long way since Mindset was introduced in 2014. The biggest change has been in treating mental illness the way we do any other illness - with curiosity, compassion and a strong dose of righteous indignation when people are  mistreated or wronged.”
