compelling stories, ethically told.
Education
Are you looking to enhance your approach to mental health within your creative domain? Our courses are tailored to enrich mental health practices in the entertainment industry, equipping you with a comprehensive toolbox, a wider network, and increased confidence for addressing mental health in your creative endeavors. Designed to benefit both seasoned professionals and aspiring students in theatre and film, our coursework is now more accessible and adaptable than before.
AMHC’s Core Curriculum focuses on our core values and wisdom gleaned from decades of experience in both the mental health and entertainment worlds. It follows a three-part structure including individual experience, interpersonal dynamics, and the macro structures in our industry.
Our focus starts with safety as the building block of ethical and compelling creativity. If you’ve ever wondered, “What does a safe space even look like,” this is where you’ll find some answers as we consider this term from a biological, social, systemic, and embodied perspective.
We then examine the macro: systemic issues in policies and protocols across creative industries, common pitfalls in creative spaces, and better practices for supporting psychological safety and brilliant storytelling. Finally, we explore ways to hold conflict as a healthy part of the collaboration process. This is an opportunity to recognize patterns in your past experiences, examine your own tendencies, and build skills in conflict resolution.
