We take our responsibility for looking after our community and audiences very seriously, and we recognise that sometimes the content contained in our work – and the world and context we’re working in – can be challenging for some people.

We believe it is our duty as responsible artists and creators to ensure that our community feel supported and are able to make informed choices about whether to engage with our work. We also make sure to distribute appropriate signposting to relevant professional support if necessary. At each of our shows, you will find a member of the 20 Stories High team there as a mental health first aider – they will be at our mental health first aid table with resources connected to wellbeing and the show. 

Below you can download self-care toolkits that relate to our previous shows, and kits that we have made responding to our current context.

Activism: Self Care Toolkit - Racism, Islamophobia & Anti-Semitism

This self care toolkit has been created in response to rising experiences of racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism, offering support, solidarity and practical ways to look after yourself. It brings together guidance, reflections and signposting to help you navigate difficult experiences, while reminding you that you are not alone and that collective care matters.

HIGH TIMES AND DIRTY MONSTERS – Self Care Toolkit

Our Self Care Toolkit is designed to support you before, during and after experiencing High Times and Dirty Monsters. It includes information about the show, its themes, and practical tools to help you look after your wellbeing, alongside signposting to further support if needed.
