"Giving a 'go-getter,' regular access to support, direction & opportunity is a legit form of 'mental health support.'"
Sabella "Bella" Reyes, LCSW
We've noticed lack in knowledge and emotional intelligence are key contributors to the mental strain experienced by independent music creators and team members today. We empathize and consider how difficult it could be to maximize artistic expression when uneducated about the music business; all while having inadequate support.
Our Music Industry Social Workers (MISW) are specialize in credentialed and are here to support the personal, artistic, and professional development of the independent music community. The cool things is they're doing this from a behavioral health perspective while specializing in resource navigations and community partnerships. This is truly a superpower, and we value them greatly.
Music Industry Social Workers are working diligently and passionately to help the independent music community be better and to do better. MISWs are protectors of confidence and creativity. Our MISWs assist with goal setting techniques, career development planning, customized personal development plans, and more.
They've crafted the following book recommendation list with warm regard to the personal, artistic, and professional development needs commonly expressed within the independent music community and wider music industry. Incorporating therapy into your personal development and healing work is encouraged.
