Farelight Productions has been working with Headlines Network since 2022, creating a series of sensitive and engaging videos to support mental health awareness in journalism. Designed to accompany educational resource packs, each project tackles a vital subject—supporting colleagues, managing personal well-being, leadership in the newsroom, burnout, vicarious trauma, and reporting on distressing events.

For every topic, we produced a set of 3–5 minute videos blending expert interviews with carefully crafted animation. Contributors shared personal experiences and practical guidance, while the animation helped visualise complex ideas in a way that was accessible and non-distressing for viewers.

Filming took place both in person, often in newsrooms, and remotely via video calls—allowing for flexibility and a diverse range of voices, all captured in a polished and professional style.

These projects required a considered, collaborative approach. The topics were emotionally complex and needed to be handled with sensitivity and care. Working closely with Headlines Network throughout scripting, filming and post-production ensured that every video struck the right tone: intelligent, respectful, and useful without being overwhelming.

The success of this ongoing partnership reflects the trust and alignment between our teams. The finished videos are now an essential part of Headlines Network’s resources—offering clear, thoughtful support to professionals navigating the pressures of modern journalism.
