Picture This is the first national research project to investigate the way mental illness is visually portrayed in Australia.

A joint partnership between SANE and Getty Images, the project surveyed more than 5,000 Australians to find out what they thought was a fair and accurate representation of mental illness.

The results showed that Australians want to see images of real people which convey a sense of both struggle and hope.

Based on these results, SANE has developed five recommendations to guide photographers and publishers in portraying mental illness fairly and accurately.
