In our closing episode, we ask how people in leadership roles should respond to the growing interest in creative work about mental health. Do we need a complete rethink of how the arts industry thinks about mental health? With contributions from theatre-maker Selina Thompson (pictured), director and playwright Julia Taudevin, Tracy Gentles of Sick! Festival, Caitlin Skinner of Stellar Quines and writer Ross Mackay, formerly of theatre company Tortoise in a Nutshell.

What do stand-up comedians gain from talking about their mental health struggles on stage, and what are the risks involved? Comedians Juliette Burton, Felicity Ward and Dave Chawner share their thoughts.

More and more people are making live performances that address mental health, often drawing on very personal experiences of trauma. What should people producing or directing this work be doing to keep them safe? Robyn Jancovich Brown (Stories Untold), Stephanie Katie Hunter (Scissor Kick), Robert Softley Gale (Birds of Paradise) and more share their thoughts.

It's increasingly common for artists to make participatory projects about mental health, encouraging people who have gone through sometimes profound mental health challenges to explore that through creativity. But how do you avoid making people more vulnerable, or even exploiting them? Mariem Omari of Bijli Productions, the vacuum cleaner and Sabra Khan of BEDLAM arts and mental health festival share their experiences.

A performer tells a deeply personal, true story about their own struggle with mental health, in front of a live audience… This could describe any number of performances created over the past decade, a time in which we have become increasingly open to the idea of talking about our mental health. But how do you share very personal mental health experiences with an audience without putting your own mental health at risk? Bryony Kimmings, Caroline Horton, Selina Thompson, Sinead O'Brien (pictured), Nye Russell Thompson, and Amy Conway talk about putting their mental health on stage for all to see, while director and playwright Julia Taudevin warns of the dangers of an industry-wide obsession with personal stories.
