Music Minds Matter + Music Support.org
​
Two separate options that offer a helpline to musicians to call regarding anything that is getting on top of you or just to talk. Sign posting and potential funding for other services such as therapy/rehab/treatment facilities. Music Minds Matter is direct to the source as it is also a funding trust (musician's benevolent fund).
