Woven Threads August Update

AUGUST NEWS

Hello,  

VIVID UPDATE
 
By now most of you will be aware that VIVID Sydney 2021 has been postponed until May 2022. We will keep you updated on the 2022 event and our Woven Threads panel event A Fresh Perspective: Tackling Issues with Creativity.
 
We had a great panel lined up and would like to thank them all and look forward to including them again; Osher Gunsberg (Host of The Bachelor), Katherine Boydell (Black Dog Institute), Keenan Mundine(Co-founder Deadly Connections), Joshua Yeldham (Artist) and Michi Marosszeky (Co-founder Woven Threads).

RESEARCH BEGINS
 
Woven Threads are now pushing forward with important research work with Blackdog Institute to understand and show how our unique storytelling techniques can positively impact people to take first steps for change with their mental health.
 
Our original intention was to begin this research at the live VIVID panel event 2021, but we are now excited to be starting this independently with our partner, Blackdog Institute.
 
This research will be critical to the direction we take with this work and increasing our contribution towards suicide prevention.

SCHOOLS & CLICKVIEW 
We have been extremely pleased to see the films in schools across the country with the support of the Australian Children's Television Foundation and now the new mental health series Stories from Within via ClickView.

We would like to share a message from Lifeline Australia Chair John Brogden.
 
‘These are challenging times, it is ok not to be feeling ok.
 
‘Connecting with others is key. If you, or someone you know are feeling overwhelmed, we encourage you to connect with Lifeline in the way you feel most comfortable.
‘Either phone us to speak to a Crisis Supporter on 13 11 14 (24 hours/7 days), or chat to us online at www.lifeline.org.au (7pm – midnight, 7 nights),’
