The NOMC understands the unique challenges and opportunities faced working in the music industry.
Pre-pandemic studies documented that, on average, musicians earn less than the average American, face higher rates of discrimination and harassment, and disproportionally struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues.
Over the past year, as we've collectively endured challenges and performers were separated from their calling and livelihoods, the importance of discussing these struggles and providing outlets for support has taken center stage.
Current reports show that mental illness among adults is increasing and addiction levels are on the rise in performing arts communities. As the music industry gets back in swing, the Musicians' Clinic will be here every step of the way to provide quality care, community, and connection.
We believe everyone deserves emotional well-being. That's why Musicians' Clinic patients receive access to a wide range of mental health providers regardless of their insurance status. Your support continues and furthers the reach of our accessible, wraparound behavioral health services that provide treatment for New Orleans' beloved cultural community members.
