Apply for mental-health journalism fellowships by April 6

The Carter Center is now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism. From the website: "The yearlong, nonresidential fellowships aim to equip journalists with resources to produce compelling and balanced reporting on mental health and substance use issues and to develop a diverse cohort of journalists who can effectively report on the topics across evolving and emerging platforms."

Each fellow will receive a $10,000 stipend, intensive training on behavioral health reporting, and networking opportunities with advisors and other fellows. Fellows from across mediums pursue a range of innovative journalism projects that tackle some of society’s biggest behavioral health challenges and seek to drive change in their communities and help reduce stigma through storytelling.

Journalists who are U.S. citizens and residents are invited to apply online. The deadline is April 6, and fellows will be announced in July on the Center's website. The fellowship begins in September.
