Creative Mental Health Events
Enjoy the Creative Mental Health Forum 2025 Documentary, view the short films from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Creative Mental Health Forums and get a glimpse of what’s been happening in 2026.
Filmed on BoonWurrung Country in Inverloch, the documentary sits at the heart of a growing ecosystem of creative mental health events — bringing together therapists, artists, educators and community members to explore how creativity, community and collective care can reshape mental health and wellbeing.
In 2026, the Forum itself has taken a pause. Instead, I’ve beeen offering a series of online and in-person Creative Mental Health experiences that continue the same lineage: grounded, relational, imaginative, and community-centred.
Scroll down to read more about the film, enjoy the lineage of previous years, and imagine what’s on the horizon.

Creative Mental Health Forum Documentary 2025
Filmed on BoonWurrung Country in Inverloch, Australia, this documentary captures our fifth Creative Mental Health Forum — a one-of-a-kind, values-led, crowd-funded four-day gathering where therapists, artists, educators and community members come together in solidarity to co-create practice, community and knowledge.
In a biomedical-dominated health system, where healing is so often reduced to billable units and isolated symptoms, the Forum remembers and re-generates another way. “Creative Mental Health” is grounded in art, movement, music, drama, play, story and connection. These are ancient forms of healing that endure because they speak to body, heart and spirit.
What emerges is clear: creative practices support mental health, and their true strength lies in the relationships and communities that hold them. This is not work to be fragmented, marginalised or commodified — it is living, collective care.
After premiering with Forum participants and screening internationally at the Creative Therapies Global Business Summit, the documentary is now offered publicly so its stories, creativity and conversations can ripple outward.
You are warmly invited to watch, share and use the film as a conversation starter in your own communities, organisations and networks.
