Why we made this campaign
Tap Into Mental Health aims to elevate the topics, themes and conversations set to come out of ABC’s much-anticipated TV series Wakefield, which airs in April 2021. Wakefield was inspired by the lived experiences its creator and showrunner Kristen Dunphy, who’s spent time as a patient in a psychiatric ward and has struggled with mental health challenges throughout her life.
