The focus of Nuçi’s Space is the well being of musicians. Paramount to this concern
is the ability to see a mental health professional without fear
of stigma or negative repercussion. The role of Nuçi’s Space in this area is to direct troubled
musicians to appropriate professionals in a private confidential manner. Nuçi’s Space has access
to a bank of licensed professional counselors who agree to see musicians at a very low cost. For each
therapy session, the client pays the
counselor $10.00 and Nuçi’s Space pays the rest.
But Nuçi’s Space is more than simply a referral service. It is an active participant in the treatment program. There are no therapists on staff but there are caring fellow musicians who understand the intricacies of life in the music world. When someone calls or walks into Nuçi’s Space as often happens, the staff becomes a part of his life’s
journey. In subtle, private ways the Nuçi’s Space program begins. As a sensitive good listener, the staff member hears the concerns of the musician and when deemed appropriate directs him to a professional. From this moment on the musician is encouraged to be at Nuçi’s Space and to use the Space as a support system through hard times as well as easy times.
For someone who is feeling lonely, confused, and hopeless the hours and days between therapy sessions can be interminable. For someone who is put on medication, there is often no lasting relief until the medicine takes
effect or until the right medicine is found and regulated. This can take as long as six weeks. It has been demonstrated
repeatedly since the facility opened that the Nuçi’s Space concept of getting proper professional treatment and supporting that treatment with a healthy place that nurtures and supports can be exceedingly therapeutic and perhaps even life saving.
If you are interested in starting treatment, or just want to find out more about the program, give us a call
at 706-227-1515, and we'll get you started with someone who can help.
Note: Nuçi's Space is NOT a suicide hotline. If you are having a
crisis or emergency, call 911 or a suicide hotline.
