Behind the News - Mental Health

2014
This week is mental health week and while our physical health is something we all pay close
attention to our mental health can be something we ignore. So today, we want to help out!

My Great Big Adventure - Mental As Special

2014 Duration: 25:53

During this special, Kayne Tremills is joined by friends Steph, Takaya and Nancy, as they try to
understand mental health and what it means to young Australians.

Young Australians share their personal insights into mental health and discuss the big
Materials/resources/
stimulus/sources questions: What is mental health? Does it mean you're crazy? Who can help? What do I do if
my friends or family members are suffering? And what can I do if it happens to me?

Inspired by their courage and honesty, Kayne sets himself an overarching challenge to break
the silence surrounding mental health and get more young Australians talking about it.

This program is an invaluable resource for bringing the serious topic of mental health into the
classroom. The episode explores the topics that are often avoided or hardly mentioned, such
as who can help, what students can do if someone they know is suffering, and what they can
do if it happens to them. A wonderfully easy and contemporary way to open up the school
environment to mental health issues.

Mental Health - The Basics

can connect with. It educates teenagers on how they can promote good mental health

These Days: A Short Film on Youth Suicide

2013
"High school student Chloe is shocked to discover her best friend has taken his own life. She
finds herself and those around her, struggling to cope with the complex, confusing emotions
of grief and loss. The tragedy brings to the surface her own dark troubling thoughts causing
her to withdraw as her life seems to slowly unravel. However, with support and
understanding, theres a way through these dark days. Intended to open up debate and
discussion around this difficult, highly emotive and confronting subject, the drama explores:
what can lead to suicidal thoughts; the warning signs; how to support someone thinking
about suicide, dealing with depression, and coping with tragedy when someone close takes
their own life. An essential resource for teachers wanting to raise awareness about this
difficult topic and encourage student discussions around mental health and emotional well
being."

Dark Days - Shedding Light on Depression

2011

significant difference between this and clinical depression. In this excellent program, we take

mental health experts from leading mental health charity SANE, and young sufferers as well,
this resource covers the types of depression, who is at risk, signs and symptoms, and myths
and treatments. This program is a comprehensive, straightforward and compassionate
introduction to a major mental health issue."

Anxiety Disorders
2011
"Humans, like many animals, possess a highly developed sense of danger in our environment.
In its most basic form, our awareness of these threats is anxiety. Our 'fight or flight' response
can be highly beneficial, but in the 21st Century, this state of anxiety in some people can
become a constant state of mind, and a real limitation to a person's ability to function well. In
this program we take a comprehensive look at anxiety disorders including generalised anxiety,
panic, post traumatic, and obsessive compulsive disorders and phobias. With excellent
illustrations and input from leading experts, this is a wide-ranging examination of anxiety
today."
