Mental Health Awareness Month for Musicians 🧠🎶

Musicians experience more symptoms of mental illness than the general public, and fear of failure, financial insecurity, and pressure to succeed can have a real negative impact.

Things to Remember?
💚 Rest is essential for sustainable success
💚 Being human is more important than being flawless
💚 Recovery is possible
💚 You are not alone
