WE BUILT THIS CHANNEL BECAUSE LIKE YOU, WE HAVE BEEN THERE

THRIVE TV: A CHANNEL DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING THE GROWING MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS

We’re independent filmmakers too.
We know how hard it is to get meaningful work seen, valued, and fairly compensated.

Absolutely Indie Network was built to change that—to create a better ecosystem for independent creators, where bold stories have a home and artists aren’t lost in the noise.

Thrive TV is devoted to addressing the growing mental health crisis through awareness, resources, support, and real-world solutions.

Thrive TV is devoted to addressing the growing mental health crisis through awareness, resources, support, and real-world solutions.

Our flagship series, The Only Way Out Is Through, is hosted by
Montel Williams, and brings together communities across the country for honest, solution-driven dialogue.

Season One: Safer Schools, Stronger Communities focuses on one of the most urgent issues of our time—school violence. Through live public forums and town halls across the United States, Montel leads powerful conversations with mental health professionals, educators, school boards, legislators, law enforcement, community leaders, parents, and students.

These conversations go beyond headlines. While tragedies dominate the news cycle, meaningful solutions are rarely sustained. Thrive TV exists to ask the hard questions—and to work collaboratively toward answers that can lead to lasting change.

All events will be livestreamed on Roku.
We are committed to being 

part of the solution.
