DARKNESS RISING PROJECT

At the Intersection of the Arts & Mental Health

Music & Mental Health

Our Work

Our Broadway performers with lived experiences use music as a vehicle to speak candidly about mental health. More than music, our nonprofit offers free wellness workshops, guest speakers, mental health educators, a Music & Mental Health Video Series, Darkness RISING: Live Black mental health block party, free resources and more for the Black community. Free mental health resource packets and live signups for Find Me a Therapist and REBUILD are provided at all events.

Our Why

We believe music heals. Research shows the benefits of music therapy for depression, trauma, schizophrenia and more.

Music acts as a medium for processing emotions and grief, and can also be utilized as a calming agent for anxiety. Despite feeling lost or broken, music can provide the opportunity for expression and for experiencing safety, peace and comfort.

We partner with mental health professionals and use art as a medium where the intersection of mental health education and art collide.
