Working in the entertainment industry is a lifestyle where the personal and professional blur together; colleagues become close friends, work hours run into the evening, and being available 24/7 is often the norm. When work/life balance is minimal, high-pressure environments are common, and substances are easily accessible, difficulties are bound to arise.
Together, we’ll convene to address the current mental health challenges and begin equipping professionals with tools to better their mental and emotional well-being. By caring for the whole person, we aspire to transform the health of the entertainment industry, one professional at a time.
