A celebration of Music. Community. Mental Health. And Wellness.
A summit is a strategic conversation that brings different perspectives within a system together to talk about the big picture and big questions
Joshua Donaldson is the founder of When The Music Stops Organization. Prior to COVID-19 and the pandemic, so many of us were already struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, and suicide at epidemic proportions. Now with rampant unemployment, fear, isolation, loneliness, and uncertain futures studies are predicting an additional 28,000 - 75,000 unexpected “deaths of despair” on top of the annual average of 158,000.
The time to act, have these conversations, raise more awareness, and increase mental health education is NOW. By using our extensive network in the music industry, activating their peers, podcasting, social media, throwing events, activating at festivals, making clothing, going into the schools, and speaking their language we will make mental health cool to talk about, address, discuss and identify before suicide sinks in.
We are focused on building a community with a culture of honesty. Where vulnerability and love is the norm. For us, the real “prevention of suicide” is in letting people know they aren’t alone and that we understand their feelings and what they are going through.
, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit community with the mission of supporting emotional health, mental health and suicide prevention through music, connection, and love.
We take pride in providing live & virtual workshops via unique methods of therapy including meditation & journaling, sound baths, prevention discussions, wellness circles and much more, all free to the public.
Additionally, we are working with experienced educators to create a simple and caring mental health education program similar to the model that was written by D.A.R.E. in the ’80s and ’90s. WTMS will create an open environment that fosters communication and education based on simple in-class programs with an emphasis on mental health and music.
