How can we make film and TV a mentally healthier place to work?

Join us at FOMO House for an evening with the the Film and TV Charity to discuss what individual filmmakers can do. We’ll hear how to implement the Whole Picture Toolkit, learn more about the other important work the Charity does, and discuss the challenges and ways we can improve wellbeing on and off set.

About the Film and TV Charity

We offer support to everyone working behind the scenes in film, TV, and cinema. We provide in the moment, practical support with mental and physical health and financial wellbeing.

What is the Whole Picture Toolkit?

We want you to see the whole picture when it comes to managing the mental health and wellbeing of production teams. That’s why we’ve created the Whole Picture Toolkit to help support people at all levels of production, and to guide managers and senior creative leaders to look after the mental health of crew members.
