Wellbeing in the Arts

Mental health and wellbeing support for the creative industries

The creative industries face significant mental health challenges, with workforce wellbeing at an all-time low and many people unable to access the support they need.

Wellbeing in the Arts exists to address these issues and provides specialist, industry specific mental health and wellbeing support.

Our Vision

Our vision is an industry in which every organisation, production and individual can access mental health and wellbeing support tailored to their needs; where people feel safe to speak openly about the personal and professional challenges they are facing without fear of judgement or consequence; where awareness and understanding of mental health issues is significantly improved; and where the root causes of poor workplace wellbeing are meaningfully addressed.
