Each year, for thousands of members of the music community, MusiCares is the safety net that carries them through difficult and burdensome times. From our Emergency Financial Assistance Program providing a wide range of basic living expenses and medical and dental care and our proactive Healthy Essentials screenings and workshops, to our addiction recovery programs, MusiCares provides critical resources to music people in need. We are attuned to the critical issues that artists and industry professionals face each day and our initiatives demonstrate our ongoing commitment.
MISSION
MusiCares helps the humans behind music because music gives so much to the world.
WHAT WE DO
MusiCares provides a safety net of critical health and welfare services to the music community in three key areas:
Mental Health & Addiction Recovery Services: Support, referrals, and emergency financial assistance for counseling, psychiatric care, inpatient treatment, coaching, intensive outpatient care, sober living and more.
Health Services: Financial assistance during medical crises and preventive services such as dental and medical screenings, hearing clinics, vocal health workshops, and assistance obtaining low-cost health insurance.
Human Services: Support for basic living expenses like rent, utilities, car payments and insurance premiums in times of hardship, plus programs addressing affordable housing, career development, legal issues and senior services.
VALUES
