The entertainment industry has unique rewards, practices, stressors and challenges that are not commonly experienced in the same way as in other professions. By its very nature, our industry can impact your physical and emotional health due to long hours, pressure to push your body, and high workplace stress.

Self-assessment screenings are a quick, accessible and anonymous way to determine if you or someone you care about could benefit from the help and support of a mental health professional or substance misuse services. They will help you understand if your recent thoughts or behaviors may be associated with a common, treatable behavioral health issue.

If you’ve been having difficulty putting what you are feeling into words, these screenings can also help by giving you a vocabulary to describe what you are experiencing, making it easier to talk with trusted friends, family or health professionals.

Mental health and substance use challenges are often stigmatized, and screening for common mental health or behavioral concerns empowers you to take control of your health, be an advocate for someone you are concerned about, reduce the risk of long-term complications, and promote a path toward recovery and resilience while working in the entertainment industry.
