\n\tASCAP and Project Healthy Minds are collaborating on an initiative to provide the PRO\u2019s songwriter, composer and music publisher members with access to a comprehensive ecosystem of mental health services, therapy options and wellness tools, it was announced Thursday (Nov. 5). The effort is meant to support creators at every stage of their careers and is an outgrowth of ASCAP\u2019s wellness initiative launched in 2019<\/a>, which earlier this year expanded to include a telehealth benefit through MD Live for urgent care consultations, plus dermatology and additional health services. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCreativity thrives when creators are supported\u00a0\u2014 in mind, body, and spirit,\u201d Nick Lehman, ASCAP\u00a0executive vp\/chief strategy and digital officer, said in a statement. \u201cMusic creators put their everything into the music we love, yet trying to find quality, affordable support shouldn\u2019t feel like everything is stacked\u00a0against them in an opaque healthcare system. By teaming up with Project Healthy Minds, we are delivering direct access to vetted\u00a0care \u2014 removing friction so our members get meaningful support, whenever and however they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the announcement, the initiative will allow ASCAP members to privately connect with mental health providers that offer such services as talk therapy and psychiatry; peer-led\u00a0and expert-moderated support groups; and self-care apps and digital tools.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSongwriters have helped\u00a0millions of people feel less alone, and this partnership makes sure they have that same support in return,\u201d\u00a0Project Healthy Minds founder\/CEO Phillip Schermer said in a statement. \u201cWe are thrilled\u00a0to give ASCAP\u2019s members a simple way to find care, whether that\u2019s a therapist, a support group or a tool they can use on the road.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tInformation on how to access the program is available on the ASCAP member access portal<\/a>. <\/p>\n
