- Be Well ·
The Arts Wellbeing Collective is a preventative health initiative, brought to you by Arts Centre Melbourne.
The Arts Wellbeing Collective brings together the expertise of mental and allied health professionals with industry insights from our members to co-design resources and services that support positive mental health for people working in the performing arts.
We believe that every person has a role to play in creating a future where the performing arts and our people thrive. Working together, there’s nothing we can’t do.
We help by
Increasing mental health literacy and promoting positive actions - by building knowledge of mental health and practical skills in individuals
We help by
Creating mentally healthy workplaces - by supporting and developing organisational capacity for psychosocial safety
We help by
Embedding systems-level changes – by working with leaders, funders and peak bodies to remove sector-wide issues and pressures
We help by
Shifting the narrative – by sharing stories of industry best practice and successes, to help create an optimistic shared vision of the future
