MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

Website: https://entertainmentcommunity.org/

About: The Entertainment Community Fund provides human services nationally for people who work in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance. We’re here for everyone on stage, camera and behind the scenes to support a life in the arts.

Since our founding in 1882, we’ve helped address the specific needs of entertainment professionals—with a unique understanding of the challenges involved with a life in the arts, and with the knowledge of what it takes to thrive in an often unpredictable industry.

We invite you to explore our health and wellness, career and life, and housing services—all designed to ensure stability, encourage resiliency and be a safety net for those who shape our country’s cultural vibrancy.
