Happy Media, Happy Mind

From offscreen strategies to commissions and content: creating mentally healthy media in 2021.

Child mental health has always been important – but today it is a more pressing issue than ever before. The pandemic has created new challenges and highlighted others, and media is often seen as a problem rather than a solution. But how can media professionals play a positive role and become a leading light for the future? What creative ideas are already being implemented to tackle this escalating crisis?

This session will showcase the most forward-thinking kids’ content from around the world that has wellbeing at its heart. A panel of industry experts, mental health advocates and lived experience representatives share their thoughts and best practices, alongside research from the U.K.’s leading mental health charity, The McPin Foundation. Additional contributions from top global broadcasters ensure real take-home tools for media makers to support our younger generation’s mental wellbeing.
