In this episode, Chris Bullard, Executive Director of Sound Mind Live, a national non-profit focused on ending the stigma around mental health through the power of music, joins The Okay Days to talk about using your voice.
A former touring musician, Chris performed with acts such as Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Subsequent to receiving his MBA, he oversaw portfolio management at Acumen, a global non-profit investing funds focused on poverty alleviation. Chris founded Sound Mind Live based on personal experiences overcoming mental health stigma after he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his mid-twenties. He has also founded a music support program for those affected by mental illness with National Alliance on Mental Illness in New York City.
We talk about Sound Mind Live's belief that collectively our voices are stronger, how music can help find those voices and why creatives tend to experience their mental health more than others.
