About
Be Good To Yourself was begun to raise much-needed awareness and funds to provide under-insured music industry professionals access to mental health care and substance abuse counseling in times of crisis. Across North Carolina, musicians and the talented professionals who support them (sound engineers, stage staff, those in the business of supporting music) are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide ideation.
North Carolina's music is a treasure. It enriches our lives and makes our state a better place to live. When we lose an artist, we not only lose their music, we lose someone’s son, daughter, father or mother, friend. Let’s not allow depression, mental illness, or substance abuse to stop the music. You can help artists and those who support them in the profession be good to themselves.
