The identity and wellbeing field in the creative industries focuses on improving mental, emotional, and physical health through arts and cultural activities. This area promotes collaboration between health services and creative practitioners, supporting community wellbeing through workshops, creative events, and social engagement projects. Organisations in this field aim to reconnect individuals with creativity, nature, and each other, often working with vulnerable or isolated groups to enhance their quality of life.
Entry-level roles in this area can begin in social media, content creation, community support, and even HR, all of which use creative skills to promote positive health messages and build supportive communities. These roles often involve creating digital content, managing engagement campaigns, and planning events to raise awareness and encourage participation. A passion for creativity and helping others is essential for a career in this rewarding and growing sector.
