Creative work doesn’t follow neat systems. The hours are irregular, the pressure is high, and the line between personal and professional can get blurry fast.
Support Act’s EAP is designed specifically for creative industries, meaning the support actually reflects the environments your people are working in.
Your team can access free, confidential counselling through the Wellbeing Helpline, while managers receive guidance on leadership, conflict, and critical incidents. On top of that, you unlock industry-specific workshops, tailored sessions, and ongoing wellbeing communications to keep psychosocial safety front of mind across the year.
It’s practical, culturally informed, and grounded in the real pressures of creative work, not a generic model trying to fit a very specific world.
Sometimes you don’t need a full-day workshop. You just need something sharp, relevant, and immediately useful.
Support Act’s MINIs are 60-minute, bite-sized sessions designed to build practical mental health and wellbeing skills in creative teams. Think: stress management, burnout prevention, communication, boundaries, and more, delivered in a way that’s accessible, engaging, and grounded in real workplace scenarios.
They’re ideal for busy teams, touring crews, production environments, or organisations wanting to build capability without pulling people out of work for long periods. Small session. Real shift.
Need help with De-escalation?:
In high-pressure environments, things can escalate quickly. Tight timelines, big personalities, long hours, and stressful conditions can all push situations to boiling point.
Our De-escalation training gives creative workers practical tools to recognise early warning signs, regulate their own responses, and respond in ways that reduce harm rather than inflame it. This workshop helps participants learn how to stay steady, read the room, and respond safely when things start to tip. A skill set that protects people, relationships, and the work itself.
Is the Wellbeing Helpline for you?:
A lot of people wait until things are really bad before reaching out. You don’t have to.
Support Act’s Wellbeing Helpline is here for creative workers at any point along the spectrum, whether you’re dealing with burnout, stress, financial pressure, relationship strain, or just feeling off and not sure why. It’s free, confidential, and designed for people working in creative industries, so you’re not having to explain the context before you can even start talking.
Sometimes it’s about crisis. Sometimes it’s just about having a steady, informed voice in your corner. Either way, you don’t have to carry it on your own.
