Protecting Wellbeing in Creative Work
Mental Health Is Not Up for Negotiation
A Panel Discussion with Q&A
Too often, the creative industries demand everything—long hours, relentless hustle, constant availability—at the expense of our wellbeing. But mental health is not a “nice to have.” It’s non-negotiable.
This essential session challenges toxic norms and explores how we can create healthier, more sustainable ways of working. Expect honest conversation about boundaries, burnout, and building support systems that actually work.
With Abbie Hills (Access Coordinator + Mental Health Advocate) and more speakers to be announced, this discussion is for anyone who has ever felt the pressure to sacrifice their wellbeing just to stay in the game.
