Columbia Conference on Mental Health Journalism & Media

Last month, the Departments of Psychiatry and Journalism at Columbia University organized the first Columbia Conference on Mental Health Journalism & Media. The room was filled with award winning journalists and psychiatrists, researchers, mental health advocates, students, film makers and other mental health professionals.

I was honored to play a part in organizing the day and to host a panel discussion on Innovative Mental Health Journalism & Media with panelist Sarah Smith, Carter Center Mental Health Journalism Fellow, MH investigative reporter at Houston Chronicle; Dr. Ali Mattu, clinical psychologist, Columbia, host of the “The Psych Show”; Taylor Eldridge, Ida B. Wells Fellow at the Investigative Fund; and Dr. Vania Manipod, California psychiatrist who promotes mental health through social media.

During her presentation Dr. Elizabeth Ford, chief of Psychiatry for Correctional Health Services for New York City’s Health + Hospitals, reflected on the group that had come together and commented, “Journalism is about relationship building, and that’s exactly what psychiatry is about…. We’re both storytellers. Psychiatrists, at their core, are storytellers… helping patients find their own story and create a narrative that makes sense.”

Throughout the day we heard how the presenters weaved together stories of mental health, from their own to their patients and subjects, and the importance of sharing those stories for bringing justice, enacting policy change, creating connection, fighting stigma and humanizing the voices of some of the most silenced people in our society.  

We are hopeful that creating a space for journalists and psychiatrists to come together will help increase the presence of powerful media pieces about mental health and illness and break the stigma of sharing our stories.

The speakers and panelists are some of the deepest thinkers about mental health and challenged me to think and do more. You can see for yourself: A recording of the conference is available here.

Listen to the panel I moderated on innovation at 1:17:30.

Listen to Stephen Fried’s interview of Andrew Soloman at 3:53:00

Listen to Kay Jamison speaking about her new book and the connection between bipolar disorder and creativity at 6:37:30
