Mental Fitness for TV... with Jude Spencer

The TV industry is a buzzing environment to work in and is one that constantly challenges us and pushes us to our creative and physical edge. But how do we look after ourselves in order to, not only survive in a challenging environment, but to thrive? This interactive workshop will invite you to reflect on your own experiences and learn tools that will support you to manage the current period of insecurity and beyond. Your journey to mental fitness starts here.  

Who it's for

This session is open to anyone working in unscripted television, in any role and at any level of experience.

Speaker 

Jude Spencer is a mental health trainer who specialises in mental health first aid (MHFA) and resilience training within the film and TV industry. She is an active volunteer for organisations such as Samaritans, Mental Health Mates and Studio Upstairs, supporting those who are going through challenging times. Alongside this, she also has over a decade worth of experience working in production roles both within broadcasters such as the BBC to Independents such as Locksmith Animation and TwoFour. This varied experience has been across radio, TV and film, from live-action drama and factual through to animated series and features. Jude’s passion for training comes from the belief that the skills that are learned to support yourself and others effectively aren’t just skills for the workplace but are skills for life.
