Putting mental health at the heart of your production
Working with the industry to put the Toolkit into practice
For this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and during what has been a period of industry fragility, remember that the Whole Picture Toolkit team is here to help.
Many of you are working hard to deliver productions, which can be an overwhelming and stressful experience. However, by using our Toolkit, senior creatives and production heads can start to make small interventions that can positively shift the culture on a production and put mental health at the heart of the production process.
The first step? Setting up a meeting with our Toolkit Engagement Producers. Below, you can find out how they have been working with the industry to put the Toolkit into practice and how the Toolkit has been used by productions already.
How our Engagement Producers can support you
“Recently we’ve been working with ScreenSkills to deliver sessions focused on how both Scripted and Unscripted productions can make best use of the Toolkit. With webinars and workshops, we’ve shown the best practice approach, with a Mental Health Risk Assessment (MHRA) at its heart.” – Jess Cudlipp, Unscripted Engagement Producer.
“I’m organising and speaking at events across the UK to raise awareness of the free resources and support available in the Toolkit. It’s inspiring to connect with people across the industry and discuss how to create change.” – Sophie Freeman, Scripted Engagement Producer.
“It’s been fascinating working directly with production companies big and small to help bolster the mental health and wellbeing support they offer across a wide variety of productions. Even the smallest change, like checking in with your team, can make the biggest difference.” – Matt Keyte, Unscripted Engagement Producer.
