Music, Podcasting & Mental Health
At GOABOVE, we believe in the transformative power of music to heal, uplift, and empower. Music serves as a universal language that connects individuals, fosters emotional expression, and strengthens mental well-being. Studies have shown that engaging in music—whether through listening, creating, or performing—can reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and enhance cognitive function. For youth facing adversity, music provides a safe and creative outlet to process emotions, build confidence, and develop social skills.
At GOABOVE, we harness the healing potential of podcasting to transform lives and build resilient communities. Our audio podcast platform breaks down barriers around mental health by creating intimate spaces for authentic storytelling and deep human connection. Research demonstrates that engaging with personal narratives through podcasting can significantly impact emotional healing, reduce feelings of isolation, and promote mental wellness. By providing tools for self-expression and a platform for diverse voices, we empower individuals to share their mental health journeys, fostering understanding and hope while building lasting support networks.
We are partnered with the best organizations in the music industry to help the youth in our arts component of our program upon completing our program. We have local and nationwide referrals for your program participants. We recognize that youth at risk need to be partnered with the best organizations possible to support their mental health needs as they grow in the industry. Music helps improve physical and mental health. It can also stimulate muscle relaxation. Not only can ordinary individuals benefit from music therapy but also musicians who deal with the stress of being on the road and performing months at a time.
