Backline
Backline’s core mission has always been to meet the mental health needs of the music community prior to the point of crisis.
Backline is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects music industry professionals and their families with mental health and wellness resources
Built for the music industry, by the music industry. Through our online resources, case management program, and support group offerings, music industry professionals can seek help in a variety of ways; anonymously online, by scheduling a personal phone call and assessment with our team, and by attending one of our virtual support groups.
Nikki Alonso-Scott, Backline’s 2026 Neal Casal Clinical Fellow, will be presenting at this year’s Harmony in Practice Conference in Chicago, October 2nd and 3rd.
