Working Things Out: A therapeutic resource for adolescents dealing with depression and other mental health problems

Fully revised and in its second edition, WTO2  is an interactive DVD that contains the personal stories of 15 adolescents who have managed difficult problems in their lives such as depression, bullying, eating problems and self-harm. The stories are illustrated by animation and graphics, narrated by the young people and backed up by mental health information and handouts for facilitators.

Working Things Out was co-scripted by the young people and coordinated by Eileen Brosnan, Carol Fitzpatrick and John Sharry, (mental health professionals at the Mater Hospital, Dublin) in collaboration with a group of animators and multimedia professionals.

The project was made possible with funding from the Parents Plus Charity, the Mater Foundation, the Northern Area Health Board, and The National Suicide Review Group and was supported by the Therapeutic Technologies Group and the Compute Clubhouse at Media Lab Europe.
