We MUST do better.
Vision
WECA envisions an entertainment industry guided by trauma-informed principles, by which the health, safety, and wellbeing of artists and entertainment workers are prioritized throughout the entire creative process, from pre to post-production.
Mission
WECA strives to be the premiere hub of wellbeing in entertainment in the United States, ensuring that creative spaces are well-equipped to promote the health, safety, and wellbeing of cast and crew members. WECA is committed to decreasing mental health stigma, increasing access to support, and establishing industry standards for wellbeing. These goals are achieved by developing resources and training, partnering with productions to provide risk assessment and consultation, and supporting and uplifting ongoing mental health research.
Values
WECA is guided by values of social justice, intersectionality, and trauma-informed knowledge. We believe that the creative arts are an essential component of human wellbeing where individual and community healing can occur. We believe that those who work in entertainment have the right to work in healthy and safe environments guided by principles of prevention and harm reduction.
