ABSTRACT
Whether you are a circus artist, coach, director, or otherwise involved in the circus industry, you have an opportunity to contribute to a circus environment that enables experiences of thriving under the big top. This book offers a foundation to help you understand what factors may impact mental health and performance in circus. Mental health can be a difficult topic to talk about. Hopefully this book has given you the courage to speak freely about your well-being, and to approach others that you think may be going through a tough time. If you think you, or someone you know, needs help, remember that general practitioners, psychologists, and psychiatrists can provide support.
