The Song Stream Project is an audio documentary looking at resilience, music and mental health. 'Blessing and Burden' journeys with musicians Veronica May and Lindsay White of The Lovebirds who, through their songs and stories explore the unique role that music has played as they've learned to navigate the challenges bi-polar disorder throws into the paths of those whose lives it touches.
While mental illness affects one in four adults in the USA, people who find themselves in the often frightening and unfamiliar landscape of mental health struggles are frequently misunderstood, many times stigmatized, and often left with inadequate care and support.
More about The Song Stream Project from an article by music therapist, singer and songwriter Vanessa Contopulos in the Huffington Post.
