CTA Wellness Mission:

CTA Wellness (Children's Theatre Alumni Wellness Fund) is a nonprofit organization founded by several plaintiffs from the 2015 lawsuits filed against The Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis. We are assisted by an advisory committee of alumni and mental health professionals.

Our mission is to provide direct funding to health and wellness practitioners who support the healing of students, alumni, and child artists of the Children’s Theatre from 1965 through 1986 who were impacted from their time there.

Applications for funding are handled through a third party intake consultant and are completely confidential.

Thank You to Supportive Initiatives

CTA Wellness would like to thank the members of Standing With CTC Survivors, the Minnesota Theater Accountability Coalition (MNTAC), and the Artist Community Council for their support and commitment to accountability. They have had their own experiences with Children's Theatre, separate from the plaintiff group. To read the latest update from the Artist Community Council, you can access their public letter here. These groups formed in the summer of 2019 and amplified the efforts of survivors, attempting to address community concerns with Children's Theatre directly. CTA Wellness is committed to these ongoing relationships. With this continued community engagement, the theatre will be held accountable to its commitments to survivors and to transforming the institution to prevent future harm.
