Launching Monday, at the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, the online community resource has been developed by Big White Wall and can be accessed for free by everyone working behind the scenes in film and TV.
They can also access guided self-help courses on managing mental health difficulties, including depression, stress, panic and grief, as well as problem-solving and assertiveness training.In light of the COVID-19 crisis, the charity says it is now accelerating its mental health action plan, known as the Whole Picture Program.
This comes as the charity distributes funds to workers and freelancers hit by the closure of productions across the U.K. A survey for The Film and TV Charity found that more than nine industry freelancers in 10 were no longer working due to the crisis while three quarters did not expect to receive any support since they were not eligible for government support schemes or had not been furloughed.
A further £140,000 has been distributed via the charity’s long-standing Hardship Fund to nearly 400 people receiving stopgap grants of up to £500 covering essential living costs.
