Mental Health in the Modeling Industry

In 2024, there is growing awareness of mental health and wellness within the Australian modeling industry. Models, agents, and industry leaders are advocating for better mental health support, especially given the pressures that models face in an often competitive and high-stress environment.

• Support Networks: Initiatives such as The Model Alliance in Australia are providing mental health resources and support networks for models, helping them cope with the challenges of the industry. More agencies and organizations are offering wellness programs to promote healthy body image and emotional well-being.

  
  

• Self-Care Advocacy: Australian models like Lili Sumner and Bec Wilcock are vocal advocates for promoting self-care, both physically and mentally. Many are using their platforms to share their personal journeys with mental health, offering advice on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance in a high-pressure industry.
