The Equity Foundation with support from the Actors’ Benevolent Fund NSW are running a mental health training and advocacy program. This roundtable discussion is an opportunity for us to explore the ways in which our industry needs to evolve its understanding of mental health, with specific regard to underrepresented communities who are still struggling to find an accessible and inclusive workplace. Diversifying our Understanding of Mental Health will be delivered to Equity members and non-members via zoom, and we encourage all attendees to participate in the discussion. Please note: this event will take place at 6pm AEDT Syd/Melb time.
