Mental health in creative work, is not after-care.
Sustainability is not about individual effort, resilience, or wellbeing services.
- It is infrastructure.
In creative work, mental health is the individual's capacity to function over time — cognitively, emotionally, and creatively — within the conditions generated by the work system.
From research to practice, where resilience is a condition — not a demand.
Pioneering in Europe, we generate research, language, and models that help individuals, organizations, and creative ecosystems design work that the human mind can sustain:
- Interpretative models on mental functioning in creative work
- Operational frameworks for leadership and work design
- Insights transferable to organizational and industrial systems
The first research insights will be shared during Milano Music Week 2026.
The Lab generates models.
Resilience Room makes them visible, usable, and shared.

Our Approach
Mental health is a structural dimension of work. It is not a side topic.
The Lab adopts a systemic perspective in which mental health emerges from the continuous interaction between individuals, work environments, and productive systems.
Our focus is not pathology.
- It is functioning.
- Mental Ecology of Creative Work
Mental health is an emergent condition shaped by:
- the individual,
- the work environment,
- and the productive system.
In creative industries, this ecology is especially sensitive.
Within this ecology:
Resilience is the ability of the individual to adapt and recover without loss of functioning, when the system provides compatible conditions.
Sustainability is the system's ability to generate performance over time without consuming the people who produce it.
When mental health is structurally supported, resilience becomes adaptive and performance becomes sustainable.
Resilience Room Podcast
This podcast is the first step in opening a conversation about creative work through the voices of creatives themselves.
