ASCAP Partners With Project Healthy Minds To Expand Mental Health Services

ASCAP has expanded its Wellness Program with a new mental health member benefit in collaboration…

The initiative provides ASCAP members with confidential access to a comprehensive ecosystem of mental health services, therapy options and wellness tools. Project Healthy Minds developed an intuitive discovery platform that connects individuals with a diverse range of mental health services. Through this new partnership, ASCAP members will have curated access to the platform and can privately connect with mental health service providers.

Available services include therapy and psychiatry, peer-led and expert-moderated support groups, and self-care apps and digital tools for daily wellness. The partnership expands ASCAP’s wellness benefits, which also include discounts and perks through partners such as Aaptiv, Daily Burn, BetterHelp and Paramount Rx, alongside telemedicine through MD Live. All current ASCAP writer and publisher members can access the resources by logging into the ASCAP Member Access portal.

“Creativity thrives when creators are supported – in mind, body, and spirit,” says ASCAP Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Digital Officer Nick Lehman . “Music creators put their everything into the music we love, yet trying to find quality, affordable support shouldn’t feel like everything is stacked against them in an opaque healthcare system. By teaming up with Project Healthy Minds, we are delivering direct access to vetted care – removing friction so our members get meaningful support, whenever and however they need it.”

“Songwriters have helped millions of people feel less alone, and this partnership makes sure they have that same support in return. We are thrilled to give ASCAP’s members a simple way to find care, whether that’s a therapist, a support group or a tool they can use on the road,” says Phillip Schermer , Founder and CEO of Project Healthy Minds.

The announcement coincides with the jump.global Summit in Los Angeles, where Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Cheryl “Salt” James of hip-hop trio Salt-N-Pepa and Elle UK's woman of hope, MILCK, aka Connie K Lim, will take the stage alongside ASCAP Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Digital Officer Nick Lehman on Nov. 10 for “The Empathy Bridge: A Creator-to-Executive Conversation.
