This is a ten-week certification program to train mental health professionals and entertainment artists in tools to support creative, ethical storytelling, including content notes, crisis management, access needs, interpersonal facilitation, and much more.

​

This training is designed for those who wish to work as mental health coordinators, mental health professionals who are passionate about transforming the culture of the entertainment industry, and/or creative leaders who interact with mental health challenges in their spaces (either with their colleagues or in depiction). 

​​

If you’re interested in working as a Mental Health Coordinator, this is where you need to be! You’ll build a toolkit of knowledge of diagnoses and their portrayal as well as therapeutic skills to support cast and crew members with their mental and emotional wellbeing in a variety of creative workspaces. From film to theatre, documentaries to academia, participants are prepared to market themselves and begin working right away.

​

Culminating in a capstone project with mentorship from AMHC President Amanda Edwards, successful completion of this program results in certification as a professional Mental Health Coordinator.

This program is by application only, with Core Curriculum and Foundations of Mental Health Coordinating as pre-requisites*. ​ It is offered annually.
