In our latest interview, SIMS Advocate Jacob Kline opened up about his journey of recovery, and how the SIMS Foundation was there every step of the way. With SIMS’ support, he found healing, hope, and the strength to keep doing what he loves. His story is a reminder that recovery is possible, and that your support makes it happen.

We wrapped up Weekend 2 of ACL with full hearts (and plenty of puppy love)!

Together with ECCHO Live SIMS provided 23 mental health sessions over both weekends, helping keep artists and staff feeling grounded and supported.

Huge thanks to Brandee Smith, Conrado Markel, and our amazing providers for making it all happen. And shoutout to Milo, who soaked up the spotlight (and pets!) from Royal & the Serpent and Beauty School Dropout.

Today is World Mental Health Day! A reminder that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. At SIMS, we understand how vital mental health is, especially for those in the music industry. That’s why we’re committed to breaking the stigma, expanding access to care, and continuing to make a difference, one story, one session, one life at a time.

Join the movement by signing up to volunteer, making a donation, becoming a part of the SIMS Circle or sharing about SIMS on social media! Your support helps us provide vital mental health services to musicians, music industry professionals, and their families.
