It was fantastic to read about this new initiative for the arts sector this week. I’ve known for a long time people working in the entertainment industry experience anxiety, depression and substance abuse in higher numbers than other industry groups in the general population. Suicide rates are high in this sector also. So indeed there […]
Creatively – Reflecting Back & Looking Forward #PastYear #New Year
December 13, 2016 by
