The United Way of Bruce Grey is launching its Homelessness Media Kit to help raise awareness about stigma, mental health, empowerment and right to housing.
The kit aims to provide those working within the media with the necessary facts, figures and stories to help them better report on the issue.
Francesca Dobbyn, Executive Director says that the media kit equips journalists with the expertise they need to ensure accuracy and fairness in their coverage.
The kit includes things such as info on the stigma, homelessness and mental health, tools for empowerment and resources for understanding the causes of homelessness.
We will be exploring the media kit in future newscasts.
