Mental Health Coordination for Film

Compassionate and ethical storytelling is essential in today’s media landscape. By emphasizing ethical storytelling, we can ensure that narratives produced with film production support prioritize the well-being of all involved, including mental health coordination. This approach not only enhances the quality of the stories told but also fosters a deeper connection with audiences.

Documentary / Unscripted Project Participant Care


While many of the Mental Health Coordination (MHC) services are transferable to documentary film crews and projects, I offer special consideration for the participants and protagonists involved. Services include individualized on-set and off-set support for participants and crew members facing challenges related to mental health experiences during production. Prioritization is given to increased transparency, ongoing consent check-ins, and open communication to ensure the well-being of all participants. Additionally, we assist in preparing individuals for the exposure that comes with film screenings and social media, providing strategies for protection and mental health management once the film is released. Furthermore, we offer container practices specifically geared towards film editors, helping them manage the emotional impact of working closely with sensitive and potentially distressing content. This comprehensive approach ensures that both participants and crew are supported throughout the entire documentary process.

Disclaimer

Mental health coordination is distinct from psychotherapy. The services offered by mental health coordinators are not intended to serve as a replacement for professional mental health therapy, counseling, or treatment. Instead, they play a crucial role in supporting individuals, much like ethical storytelling does in film production support.
