MENTAL HEALTH CARE

Mental health struggles are especially acute for musicians. In a 2018 Music Industry Research Association (MIRA) study, 50 percent of musicians reported battling symptoms of depression, compared with less than 25 percent of the general adult population.

 

SMASH works with a therapy telehealth provider to give musicians access to quick turn-around mental health sessions. If you already have a mental health provider, we can help subsidize your payments. ​

​

DENTAL CARE

SMASH members can receive free or low-cost dental services from our dental partners for acute and pressing needs. We also help connect artists with options for dental cleanings in our region.

​

HEARING CARE​

In partnership with The University of Washington Speech and Hearing Services, Clear Hearing and Audiology, Ear to Ear Audiology, Magnolia Hearing, and Phonak, we connect musicians with free hearing screenings, consultations, and low-cost Phonak custom molded ear protection. ​

​

APPLE HEALTH (MEDICAID) ENROLLMENT & RESOURCE NAVIGATION

We offer support for navigating the complicated and frustrating healthcare system, including helping members sign up for state-funded health insurance, understanding coverage and what is in your network, and assisting members with connections and resources for individually purchased healthcare plans, health care questions or concerns. 

​

WELLNESS PROGRAM

In partnership with local partners, providers, and organizations, SMASH offers general wellness services and resources to help musicians maintain their health and encourage preventative health care.
