This is How We Survive: A Poetic Exploration of Resilience

An innovative Mental Health initiative with digital and live elements

the story begins (the brief)

We were successful in pitching for Primary Health Network funding to create an innovative suicide prevention project, across the Hunter, New England and Central Coast.

the plot thickens (our approach)

To break through traditional barriers to psycho-education, we crafted an experience that feels more like a trip to the theatre, cinema and spoken word night combined. With accompanying digital tools we rolled it out in schools, theatres and community spaces for thousands of in-person attendees.

the resolution (what we created)

Surveying over 1,000 attendees revealed exceptional impact: 90% of adults learned new mental health tools, while 80% of students felt more likely to look out for their peers. This powerful proof of concept has led to development of a feature documentary, positioning us to scale this life-saving impact nationally.
