2 Seasons

Season 2

Season 1

Produced by ABC Childrens, Mikki vs the World is a TV series all about pre-teen mental health. Whether it's crushes, anxiety or depression, it's all pretty full on when you are experiencing it for the first time. That's why ultra-keen psychologist Mikki, or Dr M as she is sometimes called, counts on a weird but wonderful team of expert (and not so expert) mates to help her figure out exactly what's going on in the adolescent 'old grey matter' and discover ways to keep those minds super healthy. Fresh out of psychology school, Mikki is ready to do business. She's set up a very cool practice, hired a mostly cool assistant Mo and has ALL her new knowledge to share. On the downside, she's a little short on experience, so she can't seem to land a single client. That's not a problem though - Mikki's 'no shame' HQ is rarely short on drama giving her and Mo ample opportunity to test the odd theory, ask embarrassing questions and get to the bottom of some pretty tricky situations. In every episode, our intrepid and fully qualified psychologist Dr M unpacks the mental health issues teenagers deal with every day, with a big dose of surreal comedy. Mikki calls on 'real life' input from local teenagers, musicians, sporting heroes, comedians and experts to help her solve whatever life puzzle she is facing. Mikki vs The World is more than just a journey of discovery - it's a bizarre, surprising, hilarious, fact-finding rollercoaster. Are you ready to take the ride? The production team collaborated with Kids Helpline, to develop the series' themes and ensure that the program is factually correct and showcasing best mental health practice. The "Mikki's How-To Survival Guide For Teens" was created in partnership with Kids Helpline.
