The Screen Guide

For the first time in Australian television history, a documentary series has been filmed inside one of the busiest mental health units in the country. Brave, raw and sometimes funny, the three-part series CHANGING MINDS goes behind the locked doors of Liverpool Hospital’s Mental Health Unit to meet the patients and staff who are challenging the stigma and taboos that exist around mental illness. Patients agreed to be filmed while mentally unwell and then consented formally once they recovered their health. Their stories reveal the realities of 21st century psychiatric care.
