CoMHWA has heard about an opportunity for people who have received diagnoses of bipolar to be involved in a forthcoming episode of You Can’t Ask That.
You Can’t Ask That is an interview series that looks at marginalized, misunderstood or stigmatized groups, and features self-identifying members of those groups sharing their experiences and personal stories and addressing misunderstandings or assumptions by answering controversial or taboo questions from the public.
There are opportunities to take part in short interviews informing research into the lived experience of those who have received bipolar diagnoses, and these do not necessarily involve being filmed and appearing on the show.
However, there are also opportunities to appear on the show and share your lived experience on camera. Participation is a voluntary (unpaid).
If you would like to speak with us for more information or details, or if you would like for us to connect you with the show’s production team, please email [email protected]
While CoMHWA is not involved with the show, we can offer peer support and connection to resources on telling your story safely for any of our members or WA consumers who are interested in taking part.
Alternatively, you can reach out directly to the show – please see their call for participants and information below:
ABC TV's interview series You Can’t Ask That is back in production. We are currently researching an episode that will feature people living with bipolar disorder, including a range of distinct perspectives from around the country. We're hoping to learn more about people's personal stories and lived experience of bipolar disorder – if you are comfortable sharing your experience, please email your name, location and phone number to Isabel on [email protected].
