Working in production can be very challenging, especially during the pandemic. In fact recent research by the Film and TV Charity indicated that 9 in 10 of film and TV professionals have experienced a mental health problem. This session will cover some of the key research findings that demonstrate the industry is in the midst of a mental health crisis, whilst also covering the problematic conditions and culture that must be addressed to create healthier, happier work environments.
The session will look at:
An overview of The Fim and TV Charity.
What wellbeing support is already out there – including their 24/7 FREE support line, counselling, financial and legal advice and grants.

How has the pandemic changed things….for better and worse.
