Screen Well wants to hear from people working in the screen industry about their experiences and what is impacting their mental health and wellbeing, including what changes they would like to see. This could be related to industry culture, work environments, or work conditions – anything that affects mental health, wellbeing, productivity, or their ability to do their best and most creative work. Video or text submissions can be made via the submission portal (see article below)

The ABC will partner with Screen Well to present a leadership summit addressing mental health and wellbeing in the Australian screen industry.

As a quick update to our last post - we (along with everyone who contributed to our research) are the very proud recipients of the inaugural Screen Well Award for 'Initiative of the Year'!

Read all about the awards here: https://www.screenhub.com.au/news/news/screen-well-award-winners-named-for-mental-health-in-screen-industry-2626503/

The recipients of the inaugural Screen Well Awards were announced in an online awards ceremony this morning.

We are very pleased to announce that our disability-led 'Disability and Screen Work in Australia: Report for Industry 2023' is a finalist for the Screen Well Awards - Initiative of The Year!!

Our humble thanks go to the people who participated in this first-of-its-kind study - investigating the experiences of Disabled workers in the Australian screen industry. Your stories and your experiences are the essence of this report - and what drives us to make positive change.

Enormous thanks to Campbell Message for believing that this work mattered, and accepting our research proposal at Melbourne Disability Institute, The University of Melbourne. Your support and patience with this project was (and is) so valued and appreciated.

To Dr Radha O'Meara for sitting patiently as we gushed about our dreams for this research, and actualising them into something even better - your work and your passion for this project was incredible and we are so proud of you! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To Media Mentors Australia for your mentorship and support in circulating the survey, and making sure our report reached the right people - we thank you very dearly!

Nothing like this could be possible without the hard work of the people we have mentioned above - and we love that this work has grown our networks in the industry and beyond. We always hoped that conducting research into the screen industry would uncover the triumphs and tribulations of others that deserve to be on record, and we knew that we weren't alone. We couldn't be more proud to count ourselves alongside the Disabled creatives that make our industry great. It is our hope that this report sparks positive change for all of us.

If you'd like to join us for the Screen Well Awards - please head to the Screen Well website to register your details, or click through to the article below! Congratulations to the other finalists and let's keep up the great work - talking about mental health and well-being needs to be normalised, and we're excited to see the array of projects and advocates that have helped to bring this out into the open.

If you are yet to connect with our research paper, don't be shy - it is available in a range of accessible formats and we are real people here to discuss the findings with you - please reach out if you require an alternate format as it would be our pleasure to ensure that research is meaningful and accessible to those it represents!

After an extensive submissions period, Screen Well has unveiled the finalists for its inaugural awards program, designed to recognise wellbeing initiatives and innovations in the screen industry.
