Download Colouring Book

Nick has a great life. He loves his family, he does well in school, and his friends are awesome. But suddenly Nick starts feeling… off, and he finds himself slipping into a dark reality he cannot understand, let alone articulate to the people around him. STILL•FALLING follows Nick as he tries to come to terms with what it means to struggle with anxiety and depression, and to rise above it with as much strength, and as few scars, as possible. Back by popular demand, this Green Thumb favourite is a realistic, honest and bitingly funny look at the difference between ‘teen angst’ and mental illness and the ways vulnerable kids can start to find their way out of the dark.

Content advisory: STILL• FALLING is an honest look at one person’s experience of anxiety and depression, and includes scenes depicting panic attacks, deep depression, and non-suicidal self-harm. Some scenes may prove to be an intense experience/emotionally triggering for some viewers.
