Working in music can be incredible, but it can also be tough, bringing unique pressures and challenges.

It’s okay to experience stress and anxiety sometimes, but it’s important to have some strategies to help you cope through the difficult times. That’s where Check Your Levels comes in. 

Led by an accredited counsellor, these sessions are a chance to explore the causes and effects of different mental health challenges. They also equip you with a selection of strategies to help you manage them.

We know attending online sessions can be intimidating, so you are welcome to engage as much or as little as you like. Feel free to join in the conversation via the chat box or just sit back and listen, and to have your camera on or off as you feel most comfortable.
