FREE WELLBEING WEBINARS

Working as an actor or in stage management can be rewarding, inspiring and exciting, but it also presents a unique set of challenges. Hectic schedules, auditioning for roles, dealing with rejection and working long or anti-social hours are just some of the things that can all impact your mental and physical health.

Actors’ Trust and BAPAM are delighted to bring you free webinars to help you support your wellbeing. The sessions are facilitated by experienced practitioners who regularly works with performing artists.

In this series:

  • Managing Stress, Anxiety & Burnout
  • Coping With Rejection
  • Navigating Alcohol and Substance Use
  • Embodiment, Body Image and Self-esteem
  • Respect, Rapport and Boundaries at Work and Beyond
  • Vocal Health

Each session works as a one-off or you can join all six. Best of all, these workshops will be held online, so you can join from the comfort of your own home (and feel free to have your camera on or off as you prefer!).

If you are an actor or stage manager based in the UK and you want to prioritise your wellbeing, please join us for our next series of free webinars, starting 28 October 2025. 

Respect, Rapport and Boundaries at Work and Beyond
