The Weekly Cuppa

As part of the Your Life at Work strand, we're offering training aimed at sharing workplace best practice as well as how you and your teams can stay healthy, happy, and productive at work. 

Come and join Dolly Mental Health’s Weekly Cuppa - a space to connect and offload to others in the industry. This session will be led by Monika Frise, Mental Health First Aider and counsellor in training. The Weekly Cuppa is a regular drop-in Zoom group, which allows small groups of people to connect with others in the film and TV industry and to share their struggles in a safe environment. It’s been running since March 2020 and was set up in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

The Weekly Cuppa has provided support to hundreds of freelancers, helping individuals find value in their stories and discover coping strategies through connection and support from peers.

We are committed to ensuring all our courses are accessible to everyone. This course is designed to be as interactive as possible. Please email the above address if you have any access requirements and we will be delighted to help, be that clarifying the form such interaction is likely to take or discussing reasonable adjustments.
