WellBeing Facilitators

We can provide a WellBeing Facilitator to support your management cast and crew throughout the entire production process. By championing a positive working culture that promotes mental health and wellbeing, you’ll be creating the best environment for outstanding performance.

What is a WBF?

Your production is in safe hands

Our WBF is an independent, highly trained expert who works closely with producers and crew to support everyone in the creation of a mentally healthy production. WBFs are a visible presence on productions and take an action-based approach that generates real change.

Meeting the industry’s challenges

We know it can be difficult to prioritise thriving, healthy teams amid the environment of tight budgets, short deadlines, long hours and Covid. It’s no easy task to manage the general demands of delivering content in a fast-paced creative environment.

Our WBF is here to support you to overcome these challenges and help you look after your crew so they can flourish and deliver their best work on your production. Whether your production is large or small, we can tailor our support to meet your needs

Our goal is that this role becomes normalised across industry, because a positive and safe working environment is essential in order to retain our existing talented workforce and to attract new people to the sector.
