Touring Musicians
Mental Health Support
Because the road is long, but you don't have to walk it alone.
Specialized mental health support for touring musicians dealing with Bipolar Disorder, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and more.
A Different Kind of Struggle
Fifteen years on the road. Different city every night. Applause that fades as soon as you step backstage. And a mental health challenge that never takes a night off.
"I've played 2,000 shows in 43 countries. I can handle any technical difficulty on stage, but I couldn't handle what was happening in my own mind. Finding others who understood both worlds—music and mental health—saved my life."
At Touring Musicians Mental Health Support, we understand the unique intersection of life on tour and managing mental health conditions. When the world sees your performance but not your pain, we're here to see you – completely.
When Your Life Doesn't Fit the Standard Treatment Model
Traditional mental health support wasn't designed for people who:
Cross international borders monthly
Managing medication across time zones and navigating different healthcare systems creates unique challenges for touring musicians.
Work when others sleep
The irregular schedule of touring life disrupts sleep patterns and can exacerbate mental health conditions in ways traditional therapy doesn't address.
Can't attend regular therapy
The constant movement of touring makes consistent in-person therapy nearly impossible, requiring specialized remote solutions.
Navigate fame and isolation
The paradox of being surrounded by people yet deeply isolated creates a unique mental health challenge that requires specialized understanding.
Parent from thousands of miles away
The guilt and emotional strain of being separated from family while touring adds another layer to mental health challenges.
Experience extreme emotional highs and lows
The adrenaline of performing followed by post-show crashes creates emotional patterns that can mask or exacerbate underlying conditions.
Understanding Mental Health Challenges in the Touring Context
We offer specialized support for musicians dealing with:
Our approach acknowledges how these conditions uniquely manifest in the touring lifestyle—from managing medication across time zones to navigating triggers in unfamiliar environments.
You're Not Alone in This Journey
The Empty Nest on the Road
After years of balancing touring with single parenthood, watching your kids grow up and leave home creates a unique emptiness when you return from tour to an empty house. Our dedicated support groups connect parents experiencing this transition while maintaining a musical career.
Your Constant Companion—Left Behind
Having to give up a pet because of your touring schedule isn't just a logistical decision—it's an emotional wound. We understand this specific grief and provide spaces to process this unique loss that others might minimize.
A Foreigner Everywhere
When you primarily tour in countries other than your own, cultural disconnection compounds feelings of isolation. Our international network offers culturally-sensitive support no matter where your tour takes you.
