Mental Health

The events and production industry is one that can include
long working hours, days, or weeks, often with times away from home, and can be a challenging and fast paced environment.

It is important as an industry, and as individuals that we manage
and address mental health for our own sake, and also for that of our colleagues.

Having good mental health is important, and having poor mental health should not discriminate an individual.
