Music Support Hosts 12 Step Support Groups Online

Music Support is launching weekly online support group meetings to allow the music industry’s 12 Step recovery community to continue to connect during the COVID-19 lockdown.

These are not 12 step meetings, but are designed for support and encouragement between musicians who are members of 12 step fellowships.

They are ‘closed’ meetings meaning only members of 12 step fellowship are welcome to join.

These meetings will be happening over the summer period every Monday 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm starting 27 April. Any updates will be posted on Music Support’s website.

If you are interested in attending, send an email to helpline@musicsupport.org. To respect the anonymity and privacy of all attendees, you must register to be a part of the meeting – failure to do so will see you ejected and banned from joining in the future.
