West & Ward a musical duo is working to incorporate advocating for mental health through their music. Their priority is galvanizing a local community into action that will change how mental health is discussed, and hopefully change how the mental health care system works here and beyond. West & Ward has recently dropped an EP, which includes “Battlefield” and “How Long”, songs that examine the feelings a person might have on their mental health journey. Elijah Cross and Macy Leonard of West & Ward sat down with The Spark Host Asia Tabb to talk about how their music is influencing change.

In the podcast, they also chat about their collaboration with the I'm fine. Project to produce a video we hope will bring more awareness to 988 and NAMI once it has been released. We hope to partner with more like-minded organizations and artists moving forward.
