CMA is committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by those working in the music industry. The emotional demands of touring, performing, and creating can take a significant toll on mental health, often at a faster rate than other industries. CMA recognizes that mental health resources are no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
This website serves as a comprehensive portal for industry members and offers information on accessing mental health and wellness support through six partner organizations. Additional resources are available through several incredible organizations supporting music professionals. If you need assistance finding a resource or have any questions, please reach out to our membership team at [email protected].
CMA has expanded its commitment to mental health with a multi-million dollar investment, including a $3 million donation to Belmont University and renewed support for Amber Health, ECCHO Live, Music Health Alliance, MusiCares, and Porter’s Call to continue its mission to provide vital mental health resources across the music industry.
Prioritizing your mental health is essential, especially in high-pressure industries like music.
