Disability Support

Are you or a family member an entertainment professional coping with a short- or long-term illness or disability? Reach out for supportive services tailored to the needs of our entertainment community!

Through our Disabled Care Program, our qualified social workers can assist you and your family in developing plans to address your needs. This includes:

  • Assessment of your medical, financial and support needs
  • Supportive counseling to help manage this transition
  • Connection to community, health and home care resources
  • Information and advocacy to help negotiate medical bills
  • Linkage to public or private benefits

For those who are unable to travel, we also provide home and hospital visits whenever possible.

Please register or log in to our Entertainment Community Fund Portal to access our workshops, programs and services. Our portal is designed to cater to your individual needs and interests, offering access to a wide range of resources and support—all with the guidance and understanding of what it takes to build a life and career in the arts.

The Entertainment Community Fund is committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.
