Our Program
The Robb Nash Project is an immersive concert experience that engages audiences through the power of music and storytelling. Our presentation addresses topics related to mental health such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, bullying and suicidal ideation. We balance this serious subject matter in a truly unique way that is not only thought provoking and inspirational but also entertaining and at times humorous. Our shows are hosted in performing arts theatres and arenas from coast to coast and organized with participating schools and communities. We are a registered Canadian charity and provide comprehensive support to participating audiences before, during and after our presentation to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Our Mission
Our goal is to bring hope to those who feel like they’re worthless, alone or unloved; to those who are struggling with addiction, depression and suicidal ideation. Through the intrigue of a rock concert, we show that it’s okay to talk about our struggles and our pain and to reach out for help. Our goal is to start those conversations and to bring awareness to the struggles that so many are facing. We work closely with local resources, from school resources to health-care professionals to ensure that follow up help is available. We have partnered closely with national services that provide support, such as Kids Help Phone, Canada's only 24/7 e-mental health service offering free, confidential support in English and French to young people.
