Educate your Community about Mental Health and Stigma
The Sing! for Mental Health Project was designed to shine a light on exceptional people in New Jersey who are educating their own communities about mental health and stigma. Through art, music, and dance, they are creating uplifting and life-affirming messages about mental health awareness, stomping out stigma, and encouraging people to seek treatment when needed.
Powerful Performances and Powerful Outreach about Mental Health within New Jersey Communities
Everyone can educate about mental illness and stigma! At your next performance, address your audience with a few mental health facts, dedicate your concert to a mental health cause on your announcement, or fundraise for a mental health organization or provider. Send us a video to be considered as a featured performer on the Council website! Show off your musical and other talents with a message to help eliminate stigma and strengthen mental health for all!
