Yesterday’s fitness and wellbeing track at the NY:LON Connect conference proved to be the ideal opportunity for our partner Music Biz to announce its new Music Business Mental Health Fund.
The organisation is working with Music Health Alliance and the Scars Foundation on a fund to help its music industry members apply for grants to pay for mental health services, including screenings and therapy sessions. It’s open to employees of Music Biz’s member companies, individual members, and people who were furloughed or laid off from a member company in 2020.
“The increased stresses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have shed more light on something we’ve already come to know: access to mental health services is essential in sustaining our professional success and, more importantly, our individual wellbeing,” said president Portia Sabin.
