Let’s keep our crews safe, because mental health includes brain health. 💛

Only 11% of British Columbians feel confident recognizing a concussion.

In our industry, where long days, stunts, and fast-paced sets are the norm, knowing the signs can make all the difference.

#InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay #NaloxoneSavesLives #HarmReduction #FilmCommunity

💜 Naloxone saves lives. Carrying a kit and knowing how to use it can reverse an opioid overdose. Supporting harm reduction and checking in on each other matters.

🎬 To our film and entertainment community: let’s protect each other, talk openly, and keep this conversation alive.

Since 2016, more than 16,000 people in BC have died from toxic, unregulated drugs. That’s an average of 5 lives lost every day. Most were between 30 and 59 years old, and the majority were men.

At Calltime, we believe no one should carry this grief alone. We’re committed to being part of the fight: speaking up, standing together, and taking action for a future free from overdose. 💜

The awareness doesn’t end with August. Neither does our care.

✨ August may be behind us, but the fight isn’t.

International Overdose Awareness Day (Aug 31) is one day on the calendar. For many, the impact of overdose is felt every single day. Families, friends, and whole communities are grieving.

We Weren’t Meant to Go Through This Alone On Isolation, Connection, and Why Community Still MattersIf you’ve worked in the motion picture industry long enough, you know the rhythm: waiting for the call, the long days, the compressed timelines...

We get it, because we’re living it too. 💔
💡 What’s been helping you get through the wait?

🎬 The slowdown is hitting hard. Crews who usually bounce from gig to gig are waiting months.

It’s not just money on the line. It’s routines, confidence, connection, identity.

This is a reminder to everyone that Pride is both a moment to celebrate and a commitment to keep moving forward together.

🌈 This week, we asked our board members what Pride means to them.

“Celebration, reflection and a path towards inclusion for all.”

#CalltimeMentalHealth #HowToBeAnAlly

✨ Speak up if you hear anti-LGBTQ+ comments in the workplace. Silence isn’t neutral.
✨ Bring LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ friends and family together in shared, welcoming spaces.
✨ Follow and support pro-LGBTQ+ organizations on social media. Get involved. Stay informed.

Being an Ally Means Showing Up, Every Day!
Allyship isn’t just a Pride Month thing. It’s everyday actions that build safer, more inclusive spaces for 2SLGBTQ+ folks at work, at home, and online.
Here are a few ways you can practice real allyship:

Let’s celebrate. Reflect. Keep showing up.
