This site is a labor of love. It is meant to be a representation of the enduring legacy of openness and support that the metal scene has established in its almost 50 year history. While I am a trained mental health clinician, and am open to hearing from those who need support, I feel a responsibility to also provide resources that may be more readily available. If you or somebody you love is experiencing a mental health crisis, reach out to the National Alliance on Mental Illness crisis hotline.
