Performer Recovery is an educational resource for musicians, actors, dancers, creative professionals and people in the public eye. It also offers practical information for families, managers, agents and advisers helping someone find appropriate care.
Our starting point is simple: a person’s work can matter to how support is arranged without becoming a diagnosis. A creative professional should be able to ask for help without being reduced to a celebrity story, a productivity problem or a stereotype about creativity.
What the resource covers
The library connects mental health and addiction information with the realities of creative work. Topics include performance anxiety, creative burnout, touring, sleep, relationships, identity, choosing care and returning to work after treatment.
The guides are designed to help readers understand questions worth discussing with a qualified professional. They do not assume that every reader needs private or residential treatment.
What this website does not provide
Performer Recovery is not a clinic, admissions service, crisis service or personalised diagnostic tool. It does not assess individual suitability, prescribe treatment or promise clinical outcomes. There is no patient portal or medical-record upload form.
The resource is intended primarily for adults. Young people need age-appropriate services, safeguarding and professional advice.
Sources and scope
Articles link to health guidance, professional resources and relevant research. Provider descriptions are distinguished from independent evidence. Practical examples are not presented as verified patient histories. Read the editorial policy for the approach to sourcing and health information.
Treatment information
The website includes information about THE BALANCE alongside guides to evaluating care. Readers should discuss clinical suitability, current services and practical arrangements directly with the provider. Our provider information explains the scope of these descriptions.
