New Parent Musical Support Group

Champaign-Urbana has lots of resources for birthing parents, but virtually none for their non-birthing partners. Goals for this group include identifying and expressing the emotions that come with your new role as parent, practicing emotional self-care during stressful moments, and building a community of other parents you can call on in times of need.

Musical Support Groups for Health Care Workers

Health care workers — doctors, nurses, and others — are burning out at high rates, yet the culture of medicine is one where they feel that seeking mental health care could lead to losing their license or ending their career. This musical support group aims to create a space for health care workers to experience and cope with their emotions, create a supportive community, and to help reinstill a sense of hope and purpose in their work.
