Workshops,
Groups & Seminars
We hope this finds you safe and healthy. Thank you to those who shared your thoughts, feelings and feedback to our email earlier this week as we stand in support of black and brown people suffering from the devastating racism in America. We are committed to listening to and learning from voices that must be heard. We are working on what we can do better as an organization, and will say again and again: black lives matter.

The workshops, groups and seminars of The Actors Fund continue to be resources available to everyone in the performing arts and entertainment community. To build upon our pledge to support equality for all and condemn systemic racism, we are working to expand programs so that they reflect the nuances of our community and the topics that need to be addressed. These issues have to be discussed not only as a national crisis, but also as it pertains to the entertainment industry. We will share more information as soon as we can.

We also wanted to highlight our workshops and services ([link removed][UNIQID]) that are currently in place that can be of help to you now as we grapple with so many overwhelming matters in our lives. From our daily meditation session ([link removed][UNIQID]) to COVID-19-related health ([link removed][UNIQID]) and financial wellness ([link removed][UNIQID]) workshops, we hope there is something on our calendar that can help you.

We look forward to seeing you online at our workshops, groups and seminars. If you need assistance in addition to these sessions, please visit actorsfund.org/services ([link removed][UNIQID]) , actorsfund.org/gethelp ([link removed][UNIQID]) , or call the regional office nearest you.

Take care,
