Mental Health
for Metal Fans

A non-profit helping every fan in the metal music scene get the mental health support they need.

Mental health is a problem. Music is the answer.

Some of us have been in that dark place where hope seems lost and it’s easy to think about giving up. But even in that place, we can find music. (Or maybe it can find us.) It speaks to us and lifts us up out of the dark.

Music has a power like nothing else, and that power can be used to help. That’s why HeartSupport exists.

HeartSupport: Helping a community take care of its own

We come from the music community

Our founder Jake fronts the two-time Grammy-nominated metal band August Burns Red. He’d stay late after every show to talk to fans, and saw how people in every city and country struggled with their mental health. They told him his band’s music helped them cope.

Jake knew the potential to help was bigger than his band, so he founded HeartSupport to offer mental health support for music communities around the world.

We help music fans struggling in their mental health

Today, HeartSupport is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that trains volunteers to provide peer support to other fans struggling with their mental health.
