Mates

SYNOPSIS

Working collaboratively with tMFHA we developed a dramatic short film called MATES, which was designed to educate audiences on teen suicide by fostering the skills and knowledge required to facilitate peer-to-peer intervention among young people. By dramatising depression through the story of three mates, we were able to show youth audiences what depression looks like, the warnings signs of suicide, and what they can do to help their friends through dark times.
