Referrals & Partnerships
We partner with leading clinics, treatment centers, and specialized practices to clear the biggest hurdle artists face: access. Our Referral Partners have committed to specific pathways for the theatrical community, often including expedited intake, sliding scale options, or specialized culturally competent tracks for performers.
The theatrical schedule is not a 9-to-5 job, and standard mental health care often fails to accommodate the reality of rehearsals, tech weeks, and performance schedules. We don't just hand out phone numbers; we build bridges. Our partners work with us to dismantle the specific barriers that keep artists sick.
Before a clinic or practice is added to our Referral Network, they undergo a review process to ensure their values align with ours. We look for active anti-racist policies, LGBTQIA+ affirmative environments, visibility for disabled artists, and a refusal to perpetuate weight stigma or diet culture.
If you are struggling to find care that understands who you are and what you do, our Referral Network is your first step toward a system that actually works for you.
