What support exists for you as a freelancer in the youth theatre sector?

What support exists for you as a freelancer in the youth theatre sector? Join YTAS and Education Support Scotland to learn about the resources available to you as individual members at YTAS.

Individual members at YTAS have unique benefits from the wider membership, including automatic enrolment in Education Support Scotland’s Employee Assistant Programme (EAP). But what does the EAP do and how can you access it? In this session, Education Support Scotland will cover the benefits of the programme with individual YTAS members, allowing you to be equipped with the tools to support your wellbeing and mental health.

As a bonus, Anthony, Membership Support Coordinator at YTAS, will take the time to highlight freelancer specific information and support options in our Membership Support Portal, accessed through your YTAS membership login. Come prepared to ask questions and leave armed with all the tools required to tackle life as a freelancer in the youth theatre sector.
