Counseling for the community

At the core of our non-profit mission is to reduce suicide in our music community. For the last four years, Boise Hive Mental Health Coordinator Anne Padilla, LMSW, has paired musicians in need of counseling with volunteer licensed mental health counselors.

BSU has paired up with Boise Hive to provide social work interns that give real world work experience to students and support our mental health mission.

With ongoing fundraising, public support and grant writing, in 2020 Boise Hive entered into Phase II of our mental health program. Phase II continues with our relationships with volunteer mental health professionals AND also opens up available funds to musicians in need of mental health counseling and/or assistance with medications. In our first federal grant with the National Endowment for the Arts, Boise Hive is proud to offer an outreach of our successful military veterans programs. This program amplifies the power of music out of the Hive and into more familiar settings to give our valued veterans a mental health boost.
