With a special focus on the music community's mental health needs, Over The Bridge's "Mental Health Soundcheck" is a 60-75min workshop that clarifies mental health and wellness concepts and encourages conversation so we can break the stigma of mental illness and addiction together.

Topics include:

• Definitions and examples of addiction, anxiety, depression, mental health vs. illness vs. wellness, and stigma
• Exploring rejection, failure, and inconsistent work
• Ten ways we can reduce stress, anxiety and depression
• Self-Care
• Mindfulness and self-awareness

Over The Bridge is a Canadian non-profit organization that empowers music and show makers to reclaim their lives from mental illness and addiction to continue making the music we love. (https://overthebridge.org/)
