Today is Time to Talk Day – a reminder that honest conversations can change lives
At Help Musicians, we know that working in music is incredible. Our unforgettable musical experiences are delivered by passionate and talented individuals. But a life in music comes with unique pressures that can affect mental health.
Today, we’d like to share stories and resources from Music Minds Matter – an organisation that understands those pressures, and which exists to support the mental health of everyone in music.
Lost for words?
When talking about your mental health, it’s OK if the words don’t come easily.
Music Minds Matter have conversation guides to help you open up when you’re ready – whether with a friend, a GP or Music Minds Matter.
