The Sims Foundation provides low cost mental health services for local professional musicians. Being a musician myself, I know that many of us are prone to drug addiction and serious emotional problems. Sims provides services to people who would otherwise not be able to afford them, and has be an agent in making changes in many people’s lives. I hope to someday see organizations put together to help other types of professional artists. The Sims Foundation is named after a member of the band Pariah, who killed himself before these services were available.
