Visible In Visuals 07 - Mental Health in Animation

Skwigly are proud to present the seventh panel from Visible In Visuals, an organisation pushing to make the animation and VFX industries more diverse and inclusive through honest, open conversation. How can we look after our own mental health while working in the industry and how seriously is the crisis being taken by studios? Our Panelists discuss the realities of taking care of yourself while working in a competitive and often stressful industry, and how we can improve our understanding of mental health at work.
