Frequently Asked Questions

We offer training for productions, staff, crew members, and aspiring Mental Health Coordinators to promote mental health and wellbeing on a production; do creative project consultations; provide on site and remote support; and develop policies for companies/productions that promote the shared values of the space while integrating mechanisms that uplift mental health and wellbeing.

An MHC is an interdisciplinary creative professional supporting responsible and compelling portrayal of mental health and challenging or traumatic themes for creators and consumers.

Any and all! We work across the performing arts industries, including film, theatre, dance, concerts, and performance art, as well as educational settings from K-12 to Higher Ed.

We break the ways we can help into small, medium, and large scales, from something as brief as one audience member's experience all the way up to major organizational consulting. Macro (Company Wide): Creating policies & structures to support mental health. Offer trainings for how staff can support mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Meso (Project Specific): Consulting on script development, depictions in the final edit, and portrayals in artists performance. Micro (Cast, Crew, & Audience Support): Helping to navigate conflict, co-regulating with those in need, providing tools to help people self-regulate, developing container practices for cast and crew, offering referrals to outside resources, & helping productions address concerns.

We can help you stand out in the industry by telling authentic stories. This is pretty uncommon at the moment, and the representation we do see often furthers the stigma around mental health challenges. MHCs can assist in telling authentic stories in an ethical way. The disparaty between authentic representation and what we usually see portrayed in media, screen and stage, creates mental health risks for creators and consumers, weakening the impact and meaning those stories might otherwise have.
