Creative Practitioner Health and Wellbeing Series
Free, practical, expert-led training and peer networking to protect the health and wellbeing of performing artists working in creative health settings.
This workshop series, created by BAPAM and funded by The BRIT Trust, provides support for artists and creators working in creative health, with facilitated sessions aimed at helping you protect your own health while providing effective support to the clients you work with. All practitioners, organisers and facilitators working in creative health settings are welcome to join, and are invited to share their own insights, experiences, and perspectives on how best to ensure that everyone working in these contexts can flourish.
