Music Group Launches Mental Health Fund Following Chappell Roan’s Grammy Speech

The fund, created in partnership with Music Health Alliance, will provide mental health resources for music professionals across the U.S.

Chappell Roan's Grammy speech highlighted the lack of healthcare and livable wages for developing artists, calling on record labels to better support their workforce.
Universal Music Group announced the Music Industry Mental Health Fund, offering outpatient mental health resources, financial grants, and personalized care recommendations for music professionals, including those unaffiliated with UMG.
The initiative builds on UMG's four-year partnership with Music Health Alliance, which has saved nearly $12.5 million in healthcare costs for over 1,000 clients to date.
Artists including Charli XCX, Noah Kahan, and Sabrina Carpenter have donated $25,000 each to related mental health campaigns inspired by Roan’s advocacy.
Ariana Grande and other artists have called for mental health services to be included in contracts for performers, emphasizing the emotional toll of the entertainment industry.
