ABSTRACT
This chapter, written by Amanda Edwards with contribution by Bridget McCarthy, introduces the cutting edge work of mental health coordinators for stage and screen. An explanation of why the work is necessary is followed by specific strategies and standards an intimacy professional might want to explore for themselves and their work. A review of liability, scope of practice, and what a mental health coordinator actually does answers specific questions about the job and how it’s both the same and different from intimacy work. This chapter closes with a hopeful look at the future of collaboration between intimacy professionals and mental health coordinators.
