Reporting Suicides Responsibly: The Dos and Don’ts

The reporting of a few suicide cases in recent weeks have raised concerns over how they were reported. As the mental health pandemic looms over us, we look at the dos and don’ts when reporting suicides in the news and why this matters, especially for people living with mental health issues.

If you need emotional support or just want to talk to someone anonymously, you can call Befrienders KL at 03  7627  2929.
