Art is the greatest healer. But what happens when the creatives of today become wounded by their art form? "Wounded Healers" shines a light on the mental health struggles of theatre professionals and inspires the Broadway community to foster an industry that prioritizes the emotional well-being of its members. We'll tackle topics such as: how psychological disorders affect the way artists create and perform, how the theatrical industry encourages harmful messaging (i.e. anxiety and stress, body image), and how providing performers with mental health treatment can make our Broadway better.

Why listen

Wounded Healers is for theatre people and Broadway fans who want a more honest conversation about the emotional cost of making art. In a short introductory format from the Broadway Mental Health Foundation, it frames mental health as an industry issue, not just an individual struggle, with attention to anxiety, body image, performance pressure, and access to care.
