In honor of MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, Billboard created a guide to mental health resources for music industry professionals.
Music Health Alliance currently offers two separate funds that provide low-income musicians and music workers with money for mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first, known as the Music Business Mental Health Fund , offers funds to music workers who were either laid off during the pandemic or are currently employed by a member company of the Music Business Association; and who have either an adjusted gross income of $40,000 or less or fall 300% or more below the federal poverty line based on family size. The fund also offers to provide information on alternative resources for those who don't qualify.
The second fund, established in partnership with the Country Music Association Foundation, offers mental health grants of up to $500 to anyone who has worked in the music industry for more than two years or has credited contributions on four commercially released recordings or videos; and who has an annual household adjusted gross income of $60,000 or less or who are 450% or more below the federal poverty line based on family size.
The organization additionally offers a guide to anxiety relief during COVID-19 that was compiled by the collective’s director, psychotherapist Tamsin Embleton, MITC business development leader Laura Newton and others.Located in Athens, Georgia and dedicated to ending the epidemic of suicide, Nuçi’s Space maintains a health and resource center for local musicians that provides support, connects individuals with access to affordable mental health treatment and more.
