The "Opening Doors" documentary, created by Awareness Canterbury (now part of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint), is a New Zealand-based resource focusing on the experience of seclusion in mental health settings. The documentary aims to provide a consumer-centric perspective on seclusion and its impact, particularly highlighting the need for safer and more inclusive approaches. It's been used as a training tool and is updated by the Health Quality & Safety Commission through the Pono project, which captures the experiences of users, family, and whānau in mental health services.
