Mental health & wellbeing support

The nature of the work in the entertainment industry (long working hours, a woeful work-life balance, job insecurity, lack of support to name a few) currently combined with the pressure of the global pandemic is adding stress and anxiety to everyone’s mental health, which when untreated can lead to the onset of a mental health illness. That’s where our focus on prevention comes in, as an individual with a high resilience due to good mental health = more efficient employee.

Bellow, you’ll find the full overview of services that can be provided, either for the whole production or for individual freelancers.

• Mental Health First Aider on set (a point of contact for an employee who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress).
• Wellbeing Facilitator on set (- advise for producers and heads of department on how to prevent stress and mental health issues and meet their duty of care to the cast and crew; – robustly support all cast and crew with their own mental health and wellbeing on set.)
• An online zoom room opens every day to support the cast & crew – based on when/if used. Supported by the wellbeing facilitator with a certain knowledge of the project.
• Personal Wellbeing Promotion Plan (PWPP) – a simple questionnaire designed to assist in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing at work. Done before the start of the production. It’s 100% confidential. It’s easier to help people when one knows what makes them tick.
• Mental Health RA (based on a review of a script and looking at Content – harrowing graphic or violent for example; Context – shoots in triggering locations, remote working, work in a foreign country, etc.)
