Life as a musician can be incredible, but we know parts of it can place pressure on mental health, whether that’s time on the road, financial uncertainty, or just managing the highs and lows of performing. That’s before you get to everything else outside of music. 

We created our sister charity, Music Minds Matter, to help with exactly these kinds of issues.

Music Minds Matter is a dedicated mental health service for everyone working in music. It provides confidential support via a free 24/​hour helpline, runs regular online sessions, and produces a range of digital resources to help you manage in difficult moments, and maintain your wellbeing as a musician.
