The tragic events that have been brought to light with Avicii’s passing have underscored, perhaps now more than ever, the importance and need of a support and help system for those in the music industry suffering from mental health problems of any kind.
Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Music Minds Matter is a support line and service for the whole UK music community. Call 0808 802 8008.
Launched in December 2017, Music Minds Matter is the industry’s most comprehensive service yet – linking advice, signposting, clinical pathways and professional therapeutic services to Help Musicians UK’s (HMUK) traditional grants for musicians in need.
With 97 years of experience, HMUK understands the complexity of working in music and recognizes the need for support to reflect the nature and unique challenges those in the industry can face.
If you want someone to talk to, or even explore avenues for ongoing support, get in touch, anytime. We’re here to help.
You call also access Music Minds Matter by emailing, MMM@helpmusicians.org.uk (please note a 48-hour turnaround).
While Music Minds Matter only operates in the UK, it’s important for artists in the U.S. and elsewhere to know that 24/7 Suicide Prevention lines exist. In the U.S. the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached via 1-800-273-8255
