According to the Report on Mental Health (1999) by the Surgeon General
of the United States, mental illness affects nearly one in five
Americans in any year. Still mental illness is surrounded by stigma
that makes it hard for many people to talk about their illnesses,
and more importantly, makes them avoid seeking treatment. Tunefoolery's
Education Outreach Committee was created as a response to these
facts. For over ten years, we have been giving educational presentations
in schools, after-school programs and at conferences, performing
music and educating children and adults about mental health and
mental illness. Our musicians talk about the challenges of living
with a psychiatric disability, medications and therapy, stress management,
recovery, and the vast pool of talent that exists in the mental
health community - as well as the role that music plays in their
lives.
