Behind the glitz and glamour, our fellow crew members continue to face some unique mental health challenges that need a spotlight. The three most urgent problems affecting the mental well-being of our backstage compadres are the elusive therapist hunt, the stigma that’s more stubborn than a rusty C-clamp, and the lonely road we wander on… There’s no shame in asking for a little help. You may discover that therapy can be a richly illuminating experience—helping you to heal from past hurts and live life in a more fulfilling way.
