Mission and Vision

Mission: To connect creatives, counselors, and wellness professionals with organizations and initiatives that need temporary staffing, ensuring mental health awareness and cultural empowerment are central to every placement.

Vision: A workforce where mental health, creativity, and cultural understanding are valued, and where professionals in these fields have access to flexible employment opportunities that promote growth and support their well-being.

Counsel the Culture supports the community through collaborative efforts, namely Creative Partnerships and Wellness Partnerships.

This campaign provides mental health awareness and advocacy by providing community resources, education and support that encourages all to express themselves through performing arts while also gaining knowledge and skills in arts administration.

• If you are an artist, you can become one of our Artistic Partners and share your journey and art with us to broaden our collective reach. You can also access mental health support and resources through our wellness partners.

• If you are a wellness expert, wellness brand or community advocate you can become a Wellness Partner and collaborate with us to create impactful programs for the community while expanding your clientele in the process.

Our Program Solutions:

  Initiatives like open mics, community art shows, and interactive art installations that bring people together to share creative works and encourage dialogues about mental health. These events can foster a sense of connection, reduce stigma, and make wellness resources more accessible.

• Creative Wellness Workshops
  Hands-on workshops that combine mental health practices with creative activities, such as poetry writing, painting, music, or dance, allowing participants to explore their emotions and build self-expression skills in a supportive environment

• Corporate Wellness Programs
  Workshops tailored for companies to support employee wellness. These sessions can include stretching and breathing exercises, creative expression through art or writing, and mental health talks that improve workplace well-being and productivity.

• Campus Mental Health Initiatives
  Programs designed specifically for students, offering creative wellness workshops and mental health resources on college campuses. Through these events, we encourage young adults to explore creativity as a form of self-care and stress management.

• Artist Development Sessions
  Tailored programs for emerging artists that provide both creative guidance and mental wellness support. These sessions could include career coaching, stress management, and tools for navigating the pressures of the art industry.

The nature of the creative industry—can contribute to anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. It’s well-documented that many of art history’s best-known names have struggled with addiction, from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kid Cudi, Billie Eilish, Adele and Kanye West to Lady Gaga, Lizzo and many others.
