About Set Protect

Originally created in 2021 to provide COVID-19 compliant services to the film industry in BC, Set Protect now supplies technology to connect workers to mental health professionals wherever and whenever they need, as well as on set support and workshops led by our in-house team of mental health professionals, and consulting services to guide on psychological safety best practices.

Our services are created from lived experience within the film industry paired with industry input, research, and statistical data to back the need for this support.

We are also committed to reducing mental health stigma through educational content, public speaking at film festivals and events, as well as establishing industry standards for psychological safety by creating the research to instigate this change.

Speaker

Alice Ride

Founder & Director

Alice’s background is rooted in Production within the commercial and non-union film industry in Vancouver, BC. After launching Set Protect in 2021 to provide COVID-19 services, it became clear that all of us, at all levels, were lacking the support to be able to continue working in a way that maintained our well-being. Hardships from the pandemic was compounding the already immense pressure we feel in this industry. Alice then re-branded Set Protect in early 2023 to offer this much needed support to productions and filmmakers. Through this work, Alice is also advocating and educating on what health and well-being looks like in our unique industry, and how we can implement it. Together we can all create a healthier workplace to make our work more sustainable for the hard working people within it.
