Daniel McCartney is back! It’s been two years since he first launched The Continuance Foundation, a non-profit organization on a mission to bring mental health services to musicians at no cost. Daniel has been working in the touring industry for years, and when he noticed a lack of resources and support for musicians and their mental health, he decided to do something about it. Since we spoke in 2020, the foundation has continued to evolve and grow with new services and programs. Daniel and I have benefited from various resources, so I hope you’ll support his efforts to provide a more profound conversation regarding mental health.
