Our commitment to improving mental health in the industry
These courses have been created to address the fact that the UK film and TV industry is facing a serious mental health emergency.
Working in film, TV and cinema is demanding. A culture of long hours, high stress, deadlines, challenging budgets, job insecurity, unpredictable working patterns and managing complex relationships can all take their toll.
Our 2024 Looking Glass Report highlighted that:
35% of people working in film and TV report experiencing poor mental health in the last 12 months, With more than 30% taking steps to leave the industry as a result.
Half of respondents said that better line management would help them manage their wellbeing at work
A third of respondents said that mental health training would help them manage their wellbeing at work
These course will enable managers and colleagues to address mental health issues facing people working in film and television with industry-specific insight.
