Screen Well work with individuals, educators, businesses and industry to improve the mental health and wellbeing outcomes of the Australian Screen Industry. 

Screen Well was born following Ben Steel’s transformative experience of writing and directing the 2019 documentary The Show Must Go On. Alongside the release of the film, Ben and the team at Film Art Media created and delivered a series of wellbeing events designed specifically for screen workers. This journey led Ben to the conclusion that the industry required specialised mental health and wellbeing support, which was the driving force behind Screen Well’s founding in 2021.

Screen Well began by delivering Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to screen workers and with the support of our advisory group, founding supporters and partners, we have become the go-to organisation for mental health and wellbeing training, advocacy, and insight for the screen industry. 

In addition to continuing to support individuals with subsidised MHFA training and a range of free resources, Screen Well also supports:

Screen businesses with training, resources, and services designed to improve the wellbeing of teams, as well as creativity and productivity.

Educators with training and workshops designed to support the next generation of screen workers.

The broader industry with research, resources, advocacy, and initiatives designed to improve the mental health and wellbeing outcomes of the industry.

Everything we do at Screen Well is about creating a more sustainable and mentally healthy screen industry.
