The Thomas Scattergood Foundation for Behavioral Health is sponsoring a workshop for journalists covering veterans' issues called, “When veterans come home: A workshop for local and regional journalists in the Greater Philadelphia area.”
According to the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma's website, the workshop will:
- Serve as a forum for improving journalists’ knowledge of critical issues such as access to health care, education and employment, post-traumatic stress disorder, female combat veterans, suicide and children and family issues
- Explore new research, reporting ideas and best practices with leading mental health and policy experts
- Confront challenges — and identify opportunities — that exist for local journalists pursuing these stories with limited resources
- Provide practical tools to enable journalists to successfully produce stories that address the challenges facing returning veterans
When: February 4-5, 2011
Where: At the studios of WHYY in Philadelphia
