Promoting Mental Health in Film, TV, and Cinema Workplaces

The Looking Glass Survey, conducted by The Film and TV Charity, has highlighted serious mental health challenges across the industry. Issues such as long working hours, job insecurity, and poor work-life balance have contributed to widespread stress, anxiety, and burnout. If your organisation is looking for practical ways to address these challenges and foster a mentally healthy work environment, we can help.

Whether you’re a large production company or a small independent studio, The Film and TV Charity offers resources, tools, and expertise to support your team’s mental health and wellbeing. With industry-specific toolkits, we provide everything you need to create a culture of care and support.

Our Whole Picture Toolkit is an essential resource designed to help organisations in film, TV, and cinema transform their approach to mental health and wellbeing. Launched in response to the challenges identified by The Looking Glass Survey, the toolkit offers practical guidance on addressing these issues and improving working conditions.

What is The Looking Glass Survey?

The Looking Glass Survey, initiated by The Film and TV Charity, examines the mental health of professionals in the film, TV, and cinema industry. It revealed alarming levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout. Our goal is to help organisations like yours address these findings and make a real difference to your team’s wellbeing.

How we can help your organisation

Some of these issues are complex and appropriate training is key. You might need support from HR professionals or legal experts to meet your team’s needs. They can provide the necessary support and guidance.
