Indigenous Health & Wellness Resources

Navigating burnout, stress, isolation, and the pressures that can come with working in music is something many people experience. This page shares mental health, wellness, and support resources that may help Indigenous people working in music find support, connection, and care when they need it.

The IMO shares these resources to help support healthier music communities grounded in care and community.
