We Get It — This Job Can Be Tough
In the locations department, long hours, early starts, and last-minute chaos aren’t the exception — they’re the norm. We’re the first in, the last out, and often the ones holding everything together behind the scenes.
That kind of pressure builds. Stress, burnout, and financial worry are common in our line of work — even if no one talks about it.
If you’re struggling, or just not feeling like yourself, the Film & TV Charity is here to help. They provide completely free, confidential support, available 24/7 — and it’s made for crew like us.

Free, 24/7 Support Line – for mental health, emotional support, or just someone to talk to
Counselling & Therapy – short-term help for stress, anxiety, depression, and more
Financial Support – grants and guidance for unexpected costs or income gaps
Bullying & Harassment Support – including legal guidance and emotional help

If your running on empty, it’s okay to take a moment to stop and refuel.
