Seen Documentary

In the last two years, Australia has seen witnessed a concerning 32% rise in children aged 18 months to 5 years seeking psychological help for separation anxiety. Among children aged 6 – 12 years, there has been a 45% increase in anxiety disorders. In the 13 – 18 year age group, there has been 65% increase in depression.

The film aims to address the need for self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, particularly among parents. It challenges societal norms and inspires personal growth and emotional well-being. We want to help individuals truly understand the needs of a child and what it takes to be able to offer that as a parent. It serves to bridge the gap between understanding and taking action, offering examples and support for individuals navigating their healing journey. Ultimately, the film aims to create a nurturing environment for children and future generations by giving us examples of parents who are dedicated to personal growth and healthier, more connected relationships.

‘Seen’ will question how our past impacts our parenting, illuminating a path toward emotional liberation and healthier connections to ourselves and our children.

Our impact goals are focused on educating minds and changing behaviours. We will not experience positive change without people providing an understanding on how our pasts and any unresolved traumas are impacting those around us. It is a priority for this film to be seen by a large portion of parents and caregivers from the three million families in Australia with dependent children. Audiences will be touched through watching it and balance feelings of both self-compassion along with a desire to find support for their own healing journey.

The SEEN website will act as a beacon for audiences ready for further discovery and will include a ‘where to from here’ interactive and self guided course, leading to additional resources from the six experts included in the film. This film is backed by ParentTV, drawing on seven years of experience in parenting resources and support, along with a community of educators, experts, influencers and advocates.

ParentTV has access to over 3 million parents through the ParentTV and experts network who are part of this film. On top of this ParentTV also have a network of schools, childcare centers, corporates, libraries and enterprises that we already partner with who access our videos through our platform and API distribution. We will be leveraging these existing networks as well as expanding into new ones.

Our audiences will be asked to reflect on their own past and how this may be influencing their current relationships. Our website we will have a range of next steps and resources parents can take that are both free and paid for those wanting to begin the journey of exploring their own stories.
