đź“Ł New business announcement! đź“Ł
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of The Supported Stage - Australia’s new specialist workplace mental health and wellbeing service for the performing arts and live event industry.
We partner with producers, companies and arts organisations to support the mental health and wellbeing of their people through employee assistance programs (EAP), workshops, training, consulting and tailored creative workplace programs.
Our point of difference is simple:
We don’t just know the performing arts. We’ve lived them.
The Supported Stage brings decades of experience working across the performing arts industry, alongside our professional mental health expertise.
Our team includes Jane Miskovic-Wheatley (clinical psychologist), Sophie Carter (counsellor) and Simon van der Stap (psychotherapist), with additional experience as researchers, educators and advocates across the arts and mental health sectors. Together, we bring a broad range of clinical and wellbeing expertise, grounded in genuine industry experience.
We understand the unique pressures, rhythms and realities of this industry because we’ve experienced them ourselves.
So when we work with an organisation, we’re not starting from scratch trying to understand what makes your workplace different. We already get it.
We offer support that is genuinely relevant to the people you employ and the environments you create.
And to the performers, creatives and crew: this is for you, too. We’re here to help create an industry where looking after your mental health is part of the culture.
Interested? Let’s talk. Reach out to us and start a conversation.
The Supported Stage: Supporting the people who make the show happen.
