Summary
Paramount Global and Prospira Global join the Zone to explore the power of the media in influencing mental health globally. This influence can either be a powerful force for good, reducing stigma and increasing access to resources, or can create harm if not approached responsibly. Experts will outline how global entertainment, and its depiction of mental health on screen, influences viewers, highlighting how industry leaders – from studios, to producers and writers – are already shifting the narrative.
