How Will Mental Health Be Addressed?
Ahead of the show’s return, ITV announced a “Duty of Care” protocol that would offer mental health support to contestants before and after their participation. Following their time on the show, the Islanders will be offered 8 counseling sessions.
Possible participants will also watch videos from previous seasons to discuss “how to cope with being filmed 24/7”, “dealing with social media trolling, and adapting to life away from the show.”
The network noted that diversity and inclusion training will be part of the new protocol as well.
