Film & TV workers statistically report lower levels of mental health and are often reluctant to seek help or support at work. There is a real need to improve working practices across the screen industries and encourage working in a more sustainable and mentally healthy way.
Join WFT for a webinar on Wellbeing in Production, on Wednesday 6th March at 1pm! In this session, Producer Valeria Bullo will discuss the vital work she has done in this space and how some small but effective changes can support everyone’s mental wellbeing.
You can register your place for the webinar here.
