D.C., in collaboration with George Washington University, is introducing a vital mental health support initiative aimed at assisting artists and entertainers facing unique stressors and challenges in their professions. Recognizing the mental health struggles that can accompany creative careers, this program offers a range of services including therapy and counseling tailored specifically for those in the arts.
