Backline, a new mental health foundation and a collective effort of the music industry, has been formed to raise awareness and provide easy access to mental health resources for performers and professionals in the music industry.
The project will begin as a “referral-based system, where [mental health] professionals will assess visitors’ needs and lead them to appropriate resources. Backline’s goal is to provide a network of on-demand mental health services available at no (or low) cost for industry professionals, with a focus on addressing the unique challenges and stresses of our space.”
In addition to its online space, Backline will also provide a backstage resource for performers at events who may find themselves in distress.
