Emergency Support
Are you experiencing something you need a hand with?
We know that sometimes the day can seem a lot less dark by simply having someone to willing to listen, but that too many of us are lacking a support network that understands what being an artist is really like. As artists ourselves we have seen it all and as we have lost too many loved ones already we created our award winning* Wellbeing First Responder program to ensure that no artist ever finds themselves without somewhere to turn. Whether it is just a quick question on unpaid invoices or even short term support to access professional counselling or file formal reports we provide an ear and a shoulder to lean on to help you get what you need to get back to being you. You can reach out through e-mail or Facebook Messenger and we can provide guidance or advice on your situation or help you connect with specialist services to get you the support you deserve. Please note that this is a completely free service available to all artists, we beleive cost should never prevent anyone taking their first steps to getting help.
