Following the loss of former film colleagues to suicide and the release of The Film & TV Charity's 'Looking Glass report' in 2019 (highlighting the extent of mental health needs in the creative industries), Rosanna is keen to support & strengthen working practices and the mental health & wellbeing of industry professionals.
