COMPANY/PUBLICATION: HEALTHLINE 

Melissa Lee, Editor at Healthline, is looking for pitches:

I am looking for mental health pitches for my content series on Healthline, You're Not Alone: https://healthline.com/content-series/youre-not-alone. This year, I'm looking to shift the scope from only covering specific conditions to more broader topics.

Who you are: someone who has a mental health condition, is passionate about mental health recovery/working to destigmatize mental illness, someone with a story to tell, someone who knows someone w/ a story to tell and want to interview/write about them

What I'm looking to cover (not an exhaustive list by any means): finding mental health care and difficulties that can come w/ that, what self-care can look like for people in intense therapy, how to receive treatment for phobias, how to receive mental health support from work

Those are just some ideas. Very, very interested in hearing other ideas that folks have! POC LGBT+ writers to the front, $300 starting rate depending on scope/research or interviews required

Email me at mlee@rvohealth.com with [YNA PITCH] in the subject. If available, please also send along a link to your website/online portfolio and any related clips.
