The Intersection of The Arts and Mental Health
The entertainment industry, particularly television and film, faces significant mental health challenges for its professionals. Studies show that those in the performing arts are twice as likely to experience depression as the general population. Contributing factors include tight deadlines, long hours, and intense competition.
In response to these challenges, there is a movement to raise awareness and education about mental health in the industry by utilizing production therapists who are licensed mental health professionals with artistic and creative competency. Candace Washington is speaking out on the need for on-set mental health support in the television and film industry by encouraging mental health professionals to engage with those in this sector.
Her effort aims to enhance access to quality mental health support, particularly on set, addressing the unique pressures faced by creative individuals.

Books by Candace Washington
“Woman of God: 60-Day Devotional” (2022)
As a woman of God, you were created with a purpose. Spending meaningful time with His Word can help you understand His plan for you and become the woman He has called you to be. This uplifting women's devotional is filled with passages from Scripture that encourage you to strengthen your faith and uncover your highest self.
“Breathe: Rest, Reflect, Reset!” (2020)
Many Christians suffer in silence with mental disorders because, for decades, popular culture has stigmatized mental health issues and the process of healing. For too long, the church culture has perpetuated the idea that prayer alone is the solution to mental disorders, and while this may be the case for some, for others, including Author Candace Writes, healing includes both Biblical and clinical principles.Breathe: Rest, Reflect, Reset is part Bible study, part memoir that outlines God’s blueprint for healing. This book provides a practical, step-by-step guide to help readers curate a healthy, flourishing, and victorious lifestyle. Breathe journeys through the author’s process of healing by way of scriptural and practical exercises.
