Mental health in the music industry is vitally important. When we think of our favorite musicians in the limelight, we feel that their life is “perfect.” Sometimes these musicians are going through some of the same struggles that “normal people” go through daily. Being a touring musician is difficult. One of the resources that are available to help alleviate some pressure is Backline.

Mission:

“To connect music industry professional and their families with a trusted network of mental health and wellness care providers.”

Many people in the industry are under stress every day, whether you’re a lighting designer, tour manager, roadie, or the many other facets that go into the “live music scene”, stress will come up. Their website is a wealth of knowledge for mental health resources. Whether you would like to get help or give help, Backline is there for you. We are all in this together. When the lights go up on, the crowd and the fans head the exits; a musician should not feel alone. Mental health is just as important as your physical health.
