Our Coalition Partner, The Carter Centre, has named nine U.S. recipients of the 2026-2027 Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism, as well as one international fellow focused on the intersection of mental health and climate change. The 10 fellows will receive training and mentorship as they begin projects on a variety of topics related to mental health and substance use disorders.
The 2026-2027 cohort is the 30th group selected since Mrs. Carter created the fellowship in 1996. The journalists selected include award-winning reporters, authors, and the fourth annual awardee of the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation Grant — awarded to a journalist who proposes an in-depth investigation into a mental health topic of their choice focusing on cutting-edge research in mental health treatments.
