Keeping
Artists in Mind
Creatives Care is a community of artists, providers, and supporters securing the future of the arts by providing free services to help artists access affordable, high-quality mental healthcare.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help artists access affordable, high-quality mental healthcare. We believe that the future of the arts depends on the wellbeing of artists and that pursuing creative work should not be a barrier to finding the support needed to thrive as an artist. We believe that improving access to mental healthcare will not only help individual artists, but will also foster a more supportive and inclusive arts community.

What We Do
Care Navigation
We offer free personalized guidance and referrals to help artists find treatment based on their particular needs and resources. To do this, we engage a diverse network of mental health professionals committed to providing affordable care for artists.
Financial Assistance
We are preparing to launch a treatment access fund to help subsidize treatment costs for artists-in-need in select cases.
Outreach
We run an artist ambassador program to raise awareness and destigmatize the need for mental healthcare. We connect with arts organizations and institutions to offer educational resources about mental healthcare.
Community Building
We build community through house concerts and events. We recognize that not all communities have equal access to care and we are committed to an inclusive future of the arts that engages historically underserved groups.
