This resource provides practical advice and information for people involved in the development of Australian film, television and theatre. It is designed to help inform truthful and authentic portrayals of mental illness and suicide.
The publication provides information about audience impact and key issues to consider when developing storylines that include either mental illness or suicide. The resource also provides contextual information about mental illness and suicide. It has been developed in consultation with Australian scriptwriters and people with experience of mental illness.
The resource was developed in a partnership of the Hunter Institute of Mental Health, the Australian Writers' Guild and SANE Australia, with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
