Check Your Levels is an online series that helps people in music to take care of their mental health. Led by a qualified counsellor with music industry experience, each session explores a different aspect of working in music and how it can impact mental wellbeing. They also provide techniques and strategies to help you work through challenging times, equipping you with tools that you can use day-to-day.
Touring is one of the best, and toughest, gigs in music. Relationships are intense, hours are long, sleep is often limited and it can be really difficult to keep up healthy connections and routines. If you work on the road, in any role, its really important you know how to prepare, stay well when you’re away and readjust when you return to ensure you can enjoy the experience, while limiting risks to your wellbeing. This session will explore:
- How to prepare for working away from home
- What to do while away to help prioritise self-care
- How to adjust to life back at home after a tour
- Handling jet lag
