When we, at Marketing In Asia (M.I.A), asked about the driving force behind “A Gift and A Curse,” we were moved by Angela’s personal story. As a mother, she had first-hand experience with the devastating impact of mental health conditions on a young person’s life. Recognising the bleak portrayal of mental health on television, Angela set out to change the narrative, offering hope and a path to recovery through her series.
Ensuring Accuracy and Respect in Portraying Mental Health Issues
Depicting mental health issues with precision and dignity was a non-negotiable commitment for the creative minds behind the series. To accomplish this, the team undertook exhaustive research, conducted numerous interviews, and liaised with ‘Every Mind’, a renowned Australian mental health resource. Their relentless quest for accuracy enabled them to weave together a narrative that beautifully humanizes the struggles and triumphs of people battling mental health issues.
