Evidence-based, industry-informed wellbeing infrastructure for the projects, teams, and artists in your care.
The creative industry is in flux: consolidation, AI, and a workforce navigating more instability and uncertainty than it has in decades. The pressure isn’t new. But it’s heavier than ever.
The research is clear. Burnout, mental health challenges, and turnover in creative industries are significantly higher than in the general workforce. The industry has no standardized playbook to respond effectively to its unique workplace realities.
These aren’t abstract statistics. They’re the people on your roster, in your classrooms, and on your sets.
Across creative organizations, the same story repeats. The role nobody trained for becomes the role everyone depends on.
You got into this to develop careers and champion talent. Somewhere along the way, you also became the crisis line, the emotional support system, and the person your clients call at midnight. You care deeply, but it’s taking a toll and blurring work-life boundaries. AWE gives your teams the best practices — and your roster the direct tools — to sustain everyone’s careers, so you can stay in your zone of genius.
You run the programs, manage the logistics, hold the culture, and somehow also absorb the emotional weight of every student who’s struggling. You’ve become the de facto counselor, conflict mediator, and safe space — on top of everything else. AWE steps in as the infrastructure you’ve been missing, so your students and artists get real support, and you get to lead.
Interpersonal conflict, mental health crises mid-production, a team running on fumes three weeks into a shoot — these stop being background noise and start consuming your bandwidth. You need your production moving and your people intact. AWE’s mental health coordination keeps both.
Ready-to-deploy digital programs — made available to your full roster, student body, or creative team. Share the AWE System in full or curate a playlist for your needs with evidence-based video modules, downloadable tools, and personalized game plans tailored to creative work. Discounted per-seat pricing based on volume. The easiest way to build wellbeing into your organization’s foundation and reduce downstream crises and attrition.
Custom topical workshops and training delivered by the AWE team, tailored to your organization’s specific context, culture, and audience. Practical, implementable, and designed for people who don’t have time for anything that doesn’t actually work.
Dedicated coordination available for the full production lifecycle — from consulting on accurate depictions of mental health, to on-set support for cast and crew during high-pressure and long work days, to best practices for filming and editing sensitive material, to preparing for press junkets, to content notes for audiences and resource banks. Keep your production moving and your people intact.
Have a specific client or project in need of direct support? AWE offers individualized sessions to meet the moment, from career transitions to difficult production experiences to everything in between.
Many organizations combine services into packages. We’ll help you find the right combination.

The concern is understandable. “Mental health support” in most organizational contexts means a generic EAP nobody uses, a wellness stipend that gets spent on gym memberships, or a one-day workshop that everyone forgets by Friday.
AWE was built from the inside. Every framework and tool was designed by industry leaders, mental health practitioners, and working creatives who have lived it.
Everything AWE builds is oriented toward sustainability — keeping your best people in the room, in the industry, and doing their best work for longer. The data supports the investment: research shows that for every dollar spent on workplace mental health programs, organizations see a return of $1.62 in productivity, reduced absenteeism, and lower turnover.
