WELLBEING FOR THE ART DEPARTMENT

This Industry Session was part of the 2020-2021 programme supported by ScreenSkills using National Lottery funds awarded by the British Film Institute (BFI) as part of the Future Film Skills programme.

Led by Solas Mind psychotherapist Sarah McCaffrey who offers mental health support, counselling and training to those working in film and media. Our focus for this session was on the Art Department and we examined:

• How to prioritise wellbeing when managing an art department team

• How to support and maintain wellbeing on challenging productions

• How to keep momentum, enthusiasm and energy levels up until the holiday break

• Advice and guidance on how to properly recharge to come back energised in January
