We receive media requests from time to time and use our discretion in deciding which outlets to work with. If we sense that a story is intended more for entertainment, sensationalism or commercial purposes and doesn’t provide any public benefit, we decline.
We have accepted some media requests to participate in productions we believe could help raise public awareness of mental health issues and the benefits of engaging in depth psychotherapy, counselling or hypnotherapy.
