"To be really open about [mental health] has been helpful for me and inspiring for fans. It takes away the stigma. I love that more people are allowing their vulnerability to be a platform for folks to say it's okay to talk about these things and not feel like they'll be labeled as such or lose their job."

DRIVING ACTION AND IMPACT THROUGH PARTNERSHIP
The 3rd annual SOUND MIND MENTAL HEALTH MUSIC FESTIVAL brought together artists and forward-thinking organizations to create community, foster dialogue, and catalyze social change for mental health during a crucial time in history. The event amplified the voices of artists speaking openly about mental health, and elevated the requisite conversation and culture to break stigma as it exists today.
In addition to live performances, artists shared their own mental health journeys, and experts from leading mental health organizations shared mental health resources, support programs, and tips for self-care. Proceeds from the event benefited regional affiliates of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) — the largest grassroots mental health organization in the U.S. providing free programs and services to people facing mental health issues.

“This program is so important to me and to others.
Keep doing this.”
