Covering elections before, during and after brings a lot of additional stress and work for journalists.

Make sure you are taking care of yourself and reaching out to support. If you need someone to talk to, please feel free to message us.

Putting a face and name to addiction reduces the stigma.

I'm happy to be a part of @JournalistsRN Journalists can talk to someone who understands the demands of our jobs, the instability of our industry and the numbness of an evening cocktail.

At the Mental Health in journalism summit this week I had the chance to learn about the JRN; a new project aimed at helping journalist struggling with substance abuse find access to anonymous peer to peer support. If you or anyone you know is struggling, pls share this with them.

This was such a great discussion that included SO many great resources for journalists to use!

Thank you, @selfinvestigate for having us!

Journalism glorifies drinking. In a lot of places, bars are 2nd newsrooms. Early in her career, @TaylorSixHL grappled with a double life as a journalist & alcoholic. In recovery, she found she wasn't alone. Now, she built that space for other journalists. https://t.co/OXQ6DCh22Q

As we close out Second Chance Month & Alcohol Awareness Month, I am excited to launch my @Poynter Innovation Project: The Journalists Recovery Network.

The project is designed to give sober-curious writers an outlet to share thoughts & navigate options.
