Putting the focus on mental health: why the film industry is introducing Wellbeing Facilitators

The double-whammy of Covid and the actors' strikes in recent years has had a significant impact on the crew in the film & TV industry, so this week we're putting the focus on mental health to find out what is being done about it.

Matt Longley from 6ft From The Spotlight joins us to talk about his job as a Wellbeing Facilitator - a relatively new role that's being introduced on more and more film sets.

Matt explains what he is doing to help, and highlights various ways that crew members can get advice if they're struggling in these tough times.
