Hi fellow creatives! I’m looking for any and all kinds of creative people to participate in a research study!

I’m a creativity researcher working on my dissertation on the psychology & neuroscience of creativity. I’m interested in understanding how different types of creative careers, side hustles, and artistic outlets relate to our emotions, mental health, & well-being. Ultimately to help build awareness, resources, & improve the lives of creative people.

Best recruiters for Digital / Creative?
Depends a bit state by state. If you’re in NYC, the public plans are limited, and be prepared to spend $700+ for anything with a reasonable deductible. If you freelance with one of the big holdco agencies, they’ll usually hire you through a staffing intermediary, which is obligated to offer you a bare-bones insurance plan. The upside of being on a fake W-2 is that it qualifies you for COBRA at the end of your contract. The downside is that the coverage is shitty. But between something like Oscar and a staffing agency plan, you can string together a solution.
If you’re willing to spend $1000-1500 for a single person, the Freelancer’s Union works with a 3rd party insurance pool (Central Staff Services - Professional Employee Organization) that you can buy into. It’s really designed for small teams, but could be an option worth looking into.
It’s also worth looking into whether you can get coverage through a professional organization or union. Or if you teach part time, it’s possible to accrue enough hours to qualify for a university employee plan.
These are great tips!! I’m in Texas so maybe cheaper here than NY 🤷🏼♀️ I will look into the other options as well. I need coverage for my husband and daughter too 😬
