The Film and Television Charity assemble mental health taskforce

9,000 people responded to their survey to reveal nearly 9 in 10 people in the film and television industry have experienced a mental health problem.

Analysis of the underlying causes reveals three areas that interact to create a perfect storm for poor mental health – the conditions of work, the industry’s culture, and its capability to provide support.

In response to their findings, the charity has created a Film and TV Taskforce on Mental Health and in April will launch the Whole Picture Programme - an evidence-based movement for change.

The charity already has the commitment of Banijay, Channel 4, Disney, Endemol Shine, ITV and Sky to the programme.
