ITV drives industry-wide action on mental health with panel series
The free panels will bring together people from creative industries and mental health fields to share best practice and discuss mental health on and off screen.
ITV has confirmed a second run of its ‘Mental Health in the Media’ panel series in partnership with Mind, YoungMinds, Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) and the Film and TV Charity.
The free panels are set for 12th June and 19th June and will bring together people from creative industries and mental health fields to share best practice and discuss mental health on and off screen.
There will be four panels, each with a different focus.
‘Safeguarding Stories’, chaired by Paul Brand, will feature people from factual and drama backgrounds and look at supporting contributors who share their stories for television, as well as what happens after filming for both contributors and producers.
This is scheduled for 12th June at 10am.
‘Beyond the Headlines’, chaired by Nina Hossain, will see speakers from news organisations and mental health charities discuss how news reporting affects perceptions of mental health and the impact it has on journalists and audiences.
This panel will be held on 12th June at 1pm.
‘More than a Moment’, chaired by Charlene White, will look at how brands can drive real change in mental health while dealing with consumer distrust and pressure for quick results.
