ABOUT

In the spirit of continuing the conversation surrounding mental health in classical music, we hosted an open Zoom forum to discuss the problems contributing to the stigmatization of mental illness in the artistic community and potential solutions.

KEY DISCUSSION GOALS

• Create a safe space for people to share their suggestions, questions, and experiences

• Develop a list of questions for mental health professionals

• Identify specific problems that contribute to toxic environments in music schools and the habits, behaviors, and policies that perpetuate them

• Develop a list of actionable solutions to improve the mental health of our community
