Mental Health Awareness Week

9-15 May 2022

Promoting mentally healthy workplaces is a cornerstone of our identity as a union. From our 6 demands campaign to improve working conditions in film and TV, to our Work to Live campaign to end long hours culture in TV drama to our Fit4Purpose campaign focused on making theatres a healthier place to work, campaigning to make the creative industries a mentally healthy environment that supports the wellbeing of workers unites our work as a union.

Campaigning to make the creative industries a mentally healthy environment that supports the wellbeing of workers unites our work as a union.

Our aim is to offer practical solutions and influence Government and employers to not just show an awareness of mental health needs but to act to better support all creative workers.
