Taking Care Project
The Taking Care In News discussion series builds on our 2022 national study of mental health among media workers in Canada which documented high rates of trauma exposure, anxiety, depression and burnout. Since that report, we’ve held a national roundtable with 50 industry leaders in Canada and launched working groups examining key issues.
