Film Mental Health Coordination

Michelle Backe

Good Morning,

I’m a Mental Health Coordinator (and licensed therapist) supporting film, TV, and documentary productions.

My role shifts with each project—but at the heart of it, I’m there to help cast, crew, and participants stay grounded and supported from pre-pro to wrap (and sometimes beyond). That might mean planning ahead for high-stress days, supporting sensitive content, or just being a steady presence when things get intense.

If your project explores mental health themes—or you just want to make sure your team has the support they need—I’d love to connect.

Let’s make “safe sets” more than just a buzzword

This is awesome Michelle! Love to see this kind of role opening up more in the industry, both in fiction and non-fiction, cheers!

Thanks Gary!

It has been a long time coming. The response has been overwhelming from cast and crew and Producers and Directors as well.
