Promoting mental wellness
in high performance
industries
We believe mental health deserves attention long before distress becomes overwhelming in high-performance industries. At Vanguard Creative Wellness, we use expressive therapies to promote mental wellness in child and adult actors; youth, collegiate, and professional athletes; influencers; and family vloggers.
On-Set Wellness & Consultation
Increase performer wellness and productivity by providing on-site support and custom plans for production teams.
Who We Work With
Through expressive therapies, psychoeducation, and culturally informed services, we help high performing individuals and the communities around them recognize stressors early, reduce barriers to seeking help, and cultivate sustainable mental wellness throughout every stage of life and career.
