Susan Cooper, General Manager of Entertainment Assist joined me to talk about their dedication to raising awareness around mental health in the Australian entertainment industry. Whilst the arts and entertainment sector brings an enormous amount of joy to Australians, recent research has identified that performers, technicians and other support workers experience an unusually high incidence of depression and anxiety that tragically contributes to our astronomical rates of suicide. Entertainment Assist are a national health promotion charity that strives for much needed change, commissioning research, advocating for workplace and educational transformation and identifying support pathways for those in distress.
