If you relate to any of these statistics, know you're not alone 💚

Our Spotlights and Shadows research found that mental health challenges are significantly more prevalent within the acting and stage management professions than in the general UK population.

Actors and stage management report lower life satisfaction and happiness, and markedly higher levels of anxiety

We're here to help you look after your mental health and wellbeing through a range of grants and support services.

We've partnered with Wellbeing in the Arts to provide free, confidential counselling sessions. We may also be able to provide financial support if your mental health is impacting your ability to work,

In addition, throughout the year, we run free online sessions with BAPAM, sharing practical technique and advice to help you support your wellbeing.

Heartbreaking 💔

Actor and singer songwriter Alexandra Burke recently opened up to Davina McCall on the Begin Again podcast about working through her Mum's illness.

In 2017, while starring in the UK tour of Sister Act. Alexandra's mum was seriously ill in hospital. Alexandra spent her time away from the stage travelling to and from the hospital, and sleeping by her mum's bedside. She continued working because she had bills to pay.

Looking back, Alexandra has spoken about how she feels she missed out on precious time with her mum during the final months of her life.

Nobody should have to choose between earning a living and being there for the people they love.

Actors' Trust is here to help ensure others don't face the same impossible choice. If your mental health is affecting your ability to work, we may be able to provide financial support to help cover essential living costs and other important expenses.

We have also partnered with Wellbeing in the Arts to offer free, confidential counselling sessions delivered by therapists who understand the unique pressures and challenges of working in the entertainment industry.

You're not alone. Reach out today. 💜

Thank you to for sharing your experience so openly and honestly.

In Actors, we Trust 🎭🔍

Michael Sheen worries being an actor could be a disadvantage in Celebrity Traitors because everyone assumes actors are "pretending for a living".

With the likes of Richard E. Grant, Miranda Hart and Bella Ramsey inside the castle, we have every faith that the acting community will be well represented this year.

Whether they're Traitors or Faithfuls, one thing's for certain - they'll know how to keep everyone else guessing.

So...let's see who can keep up the act 👀
