Category Sponsors

Samaritans

Samaritans believes that in order to create a society in which fewer people die by suicide, it's vital that people, and young people in particular, gain a better understanding of mental health issues. That's why we're proud to work with Mental Health Media to recognise the achievements of broadcasters who have made the effort to address these issues in what can be a challenging environment.

Sainsbury Centre

Good quality news coverage of mental health issues is so important. It can make all the difference by raising awareness of injustices and challenging prejudices. SCMH is proud to sponsor the TV and radio news category and to recognise those in the media who go the extra mile and get it right.

Comic Relief

Comic Relief prides itself on communicating serious issues in an accessible and engaging way and we are proud to be sponsoring Single TV Drama & Serial TV Drama. The volume and quality of entries is a testament to the importance of this event, and the programmes short listed have all made a valuable contribution to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental distress.

Rethink

Rethink is proud to support an awards scheme that puts the positive power of the media in the spotlight.

SCIE

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) identifies, advances and promotes good practice in social care. SCIE is delighted to support the Mental Health Media Awards as we recognise the vital role the media plays in shaping the way people think about issues like mental health. We hope the awards continue to bring together the media and mental health, promote mutual understanding and reward positive media coverage.

Inclusion Through Media

We sponsor this award to highlight the powerful role the media can play in helping people acquire new skills to tell their own stories.
The Mental Health Media Awards have been part funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) under the Equal Community Initiative Programme. The contents do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of the European Commission or the Department for Work and Pensions.

Shortlisting & Judging Sponsor

Ofcom

People gather information about important social issues from a broad range of sources, informing their own opinions and world-view. The media is one of the most influential opinion formers in the modern world. Realistic depictions of challenging subjects by the media help foster an informed, inclusive and tolerant society.

We support the Mental Health Media Awards to celebrate high quality portrayals of a much misunderstood human condition.
