Sound Mind Live and Consequence present Going There with Dr. Mike. Hosted by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Mike Friedman, the weekly series aims to create a safe space for musicians to have honest, healthy conversations in order to break the stigma of mental health.
Each episode covers the experience of artists and creatives as it pertains to specific issues, be it depression, anxiety, addiction, whatever they bring to the table. In the end, the goal is to de-stigmatize these topics and learn from each other.
So, join us at the crossroads where music and mental health meet. For further support and information, be sure to consult Sound Mind Live’s mental health resource kit, which includes contacts, helplines, guides, and much more.
