Following our Music & Mental Health panel at MiCannes 2026, we wanted to share a selection of organisations and resources that may be helpful to artists, music professionals, and anyone working in the wider creative industries.
Mental health, wellbeing, financial pressures, physical health concerns, and the challenges of working in a demanding and often unpredictable industry can affect us all at different times. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
The organisations below offer a range of services, including mental health support, wellbeing resources, financial assistance, specialist healthcare, peer support, and professional therapy. While many are UK-based, several have international partners, networks, or signposting services that may help people working outside the UK. If you’re based elsewhere, it’s worth exploring their websites to see what support may be available in your region.
