CEO/AFSP, ROBERT GEBBIA added, “We’re inspired by the way entertainers and artists have become more vocal about personal mental health challenges in order to provide a community for others who may be struggling. Our partnership with AUDACY gives us the opportunity to use the power of music to bring people together and spark conversations about mental health and suicide prevention.”
