The Entertainment Fund formerly called the Actors Fund of America has over a hundred-year history of serving entertainers in the United States. This is financed by union dues of people in the entertainment business. We will explore a variety of interventions the fund utilises for individuals working in the entertainment industry such as, benefit coordination, health care, individual counselling and group therapy for ADHD, depression and anxiety and life transitions. We will also examine musical consultations, developing a child actors’ program, life career transition programs for people leaving the entertainment career and retirement homes. We will address simple, realistic, and achievable goals on the implementation of some of these ideas into your practice or organisational setting.
