Connect & Collaborate: Mental Health, Wellbeing & Neurodiversity in the Arts

Join us for an open and honest conversation exploring mental health, wellbeing and neurodiversity within the arts and creative industries.

Creative careers can be incredibly rewarding, but they can also bring unique pressures — from freelance uncertainty and performance expectations to burnout, isolation and the challenge of feeling understood within creative spaces.

Connect & Collaborate brings together industry professionals for a panel discussion exploring these experiences and the importance of creating healthier, more inclusive and supportive environments across the arts.

What can you expect?

🎤 Industry panel discussion

Hear from professionals working across the creative industries as they share their experiences, perspectives and insights around mental health, wellbeing and neurodiversity.

💬 Honest conversations

We’ll explore the realities of working in the arts, including challenges around wellbeing, navigating creative careers and the importance of feeling supported and understood.

🧠 Neurodiversity in the arts

An opportunity to learn more about different experiences and perspectives, and discuss how creative spaces can become more accessible and inclusive.

🤝 Connect with others

Meet creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, organisations and people working across the industry. Build connections with people who understand the highs, lows and realities of creative life.

❤️ A space to feel seen and heard

This event is about creating a welcoming environment where people can come as they are, listen, share, ask questions and know that their experiences matter.

There will be opportunities to engage with the panel, ask questions and continue conversations with other attendees.

Whether you're an established creative, just starting out, working behind the scenes, running a creative business, part of an organisation, or simply interested in the conversation you are welcome.

Come along to Connect & Collaborate and be part of a conversation about building a creative industry where wellbeing, neurodiversity and inclusion are part of the bigger picture.

Connect. Collaborate. Feel seen. Feel heard.
