Help Backline Bring Mental Health & Wellness Resources To The Music Industry Right Now

Create a fundraiser on behalf of Backline to help us bring more mental health and wellness resources to the music industry.

Backline is a 503(c)(3) nonprofit that connects music industry professionals and their families with mental health and wellness resources, streamlining access to a network of trusted organizations and care providers that understand this line of work.

Life in this industry can be incredibly isolating and difficult. Backline provides a safe, private, and immediate place to go for help, offering pathways to both immediate and ongoing care through its 24/7 B-LINE call and text line, Case Management, and a range of support resources.

The need for Backline has only grown since we set out, and with your support, we can continue to show up for the people who make the music happen. Every dollar raised helps power the following programs, offered at no cost to participants:

B-LINE — The music industry's 24/7 mental health and crisis support line. Anyone in the industry, or their family members, can call 1-855-BLINE99 or text 254-639 anytime, day or night, to connect with a trained counselor who understands the unique challenges of life in music. Confidential, free, and available in English and Spanish.
Case Management — Backline's Case Managers work one-on-one with individuals to create a personalized care plan tailored to their needs, taking into account their unique mental health challenges, financial situation, and insurance status, and connecting them with vetted therapists and resources. Anyone can schedule a free call right from our website.
Music's Mental Health Fund — Backline's grants for therapy program, which helps cover the real costs of mental health care for music industry professionals so that finances are never the barrier to getting support, at home or on the road.
Support Groups & Wellness Offerings — Virtual support groups moderated by licensed therapists provide a safe place to come together around the shared experience of working in music, while partnerships with wellness platforms offer free access to meditation, yoga, breathwork, and more.

Every gift, and every fundraiser like this one, helps ensure that no one in this industry has to face their hardest moments alone. Thank you for being part of this community.
