Abstract

The performing arts industry often glorifies perfection while overlooking the mental well-being of the artists behind the performance. This article explores the persistent stigma surrounding mental health in the performing arts and proposes The Creative’s Mind, a mental performance coaching initiative designed to support performers through evidence-based psychological strategies and community outreach. By integrating Certified Mental Performance Consultants (CMPCs) into creative spaces, the initiative aims to bridge the gap between artistic expression and mental resilience. This article also examines the financial and social frameworks necessary for sustainable implementation, highlighting the importance of transforming awareness into action within the creative industry.
