Mental health in the music industry is finally being discussed as more than an oddity. But there’s a long way still to go. Once the gear is packed away and the parties have died down, many good people in our industry are battling fierce demons, and they’re often doing so in silence.

A selection of industry professionals gather for this very important panel, to discuss the challenges of maintaining sound mental health in such a unique and unpredictable industry.
