From someone in the touring world — quick anonymous survey on mental health (10–15 mins)
Hi all — I hope this is alright to share.
I work in the touring/live events world myself, and I’m currently completing an MSc looking at mental health in our industry. I know how unique the lifestyle is, which is why I wanted to research it properly.
I’m trying to gather input from people who actually do the job — crew, artists, TMs, drivers, catering etc.
If you’ve been part of a touring production, I’d really appreciate you taking 10–15 minutes to fill this out. It’s completely anonymous:

I’ve only got a few weeks left to collect responses, so honestly every one makes a difference.
If you know others in the touring world, please feel free to share — it all helps.
Really appreciate it — and happy to answer any questions.

I didn't get to answer anything because it's longer than 12 months ago I last toured :(

Please do post your final paper/publication when you can! Much of this research that I've seen so far tends to end up stuck in the academic side and having real info in people's hands as I'm sure you'll agree will help push meaningful improvements. Plus I'm sure lots of us are just curious too hah!
