Mental health and wellbeing support for the creative industries

There is a mental health crisis across the creative industries, a workforce at its lowest ever point psychologically, and a lack of support available for those who need it most.

Our Vision

Our vision is an industry in which every organisation, production and individual has access to mental health and wellbeing support, where those who struggle with personal and / or professional issues can share their experiences without fear of judgement or consequence, awareness and understanding of mental health issues is vastly improved, and the root causes of poor mental health in the workplace are addressed.

What We Do

  • Help organisations to look after the mental health and wellbeing of their staff (including freelancers) through our industry specific Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Deliver wellbeing support to theatre, film and TV productions using our team of specialised Wellbeing Practitioners
  • Provide individuals with the opportunity to self-refer into our service and access our counselling and coaching service
  • Facilitate a supportive, inclusive network where people can connect with one another, share experiences and access mental health and wellbeing support
  • Offer a pathway for people with a background in the creative industries to develop the skills and experience necessary to become Counsellors and Wellbeing Practitioners
  • Raise awareness around mental health and wellbeing issues in the industry and campaign for positive change
