Musicians for Mental Health
600+ Performances/year, 25 Musicians, and 30+ Years
We are a non-profit organization for musicians in mental health recovery. We have been a community where musicians find purpose and identities as creative performing artists. We emphasize our musicians’ strengths and the endless possibilities of healing and recovery.
At Tunefoolery, we use music, creativity, education, paid work, and a loving community as a way to transform people’s lives and create a foundation to become productive, skilled musicians who can share the gift of music and hope with others.
