Creators are used to channeling what’s inside into music that connects. That's emotionally intense work. If times are tough, or you just need someone to talk to, talk therapy can be a great option.
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please take care of yourself and seek the help you need.
The ASCAP Wellness Program has partnered with MusiCares® to launch new recovery support groups in multiple cities, plus weekly cyber emotional support groups for women in music, the Black music community and the LGBTQ+ music community.
ASCAP members get access to, and significant discounts on, services that support mental health, mindfulness, exercise and nutrition.
Award-winning neuroscientist, ASCAP songwriter and best-selling author of I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine, Daniel Levitin, talks to VERSED about the healing powers of music and shows how and why it is one of the most potent therapies today. From a music creator’s perspective, he brings together studies on music and the brain and demonstrates how music can contribute to the treatment of ailments such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s to cognitive injury, depression and pain.
