Listen to the uniting, uplifting power of Audio and nourish your mindfulness this Mental Health Awareness Month with these interviews, Exclusive stations, podcasts and news:

“I’m Listening” is Audacy’s flagship program to support those dealing with mental health issues and help them understand they are not alone. The Company enlists notable stars, including Usher and Meghan Trainor, to promote resources, foster an open dialogue, and be a platform for talk that saves lives. 

Listeners can tune in to Usher’s chat with Audacy V-103’s Greg Street about therapy and preserving your headspace. The star also addresses mental health stigma by stating, “I know it’s against our culture to be able to assess some of the things that we’ve [gone] through. But you gotta get it out, you have to get it out. More than anything, you have to hear yourself and then you have to forgive yourself,” further emphasizing the importance of these conversations.

Meghan Trainor also shares the importance of mental health as a mother of two and her social media boundaries. She illustrates the domino effect of  vulnerability by explaining, “Hearing [Carson Daly] talk about his panic attacks, I was like, ‘I gotta talk about what I went through.’ When I do that, I hear my fans tell me their stories and how they don’t feel alone. The more we talk about it, the more people we’re helping and that’s such a gift.”
