Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch has announced his partnership in the opening of Atlantic Behavioral Health, a mental health treatment center serving Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

The endeavor continues Welch’s mission of aiding in the support of physical and mental health, having previously opened a chain of Zivel wellness spas inspired by the therapeutic needs of recovering touring musicians.

According to a press release, Atlantic Behavioral Health “combines individual therapy, group therapy, and medication management in a supportive outpatient program.” The center is located in Wilmington, Massachusetts.

Welch, who has been open about his battles with mental health and addiction over the years, offered the following statement:

“I will never, ever forget the depths of the dark energy that lived upstairs in my mind, many years ago. It was truly like living in an emotional dungeon with zero light, and I couldn’t find the key to get out.

Partnering with Atlantic is so personal to me and not just another business to invest in. I know what it feels like to live at the bottom of a dark pit, but I also know if you put in the work, the light will come back on, and Atlantic is going to help so many people find that light switch.

With the exception of a few bumps in the road, over the last 20 years, I have been the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I believe if I can completely change the trajectory of my mental and emotional health, anyone can! Atlantic can be such a precious tool in helping people to achieve just that.”

Welch also appeared in an Instagram post on the page for Atlantic Behavioral Health, sharing some of his own experiences with behavioral health treatment and discussing the community support environment provided by Atlantic.

“I did go to a psychiatrist [years back when struggling the most], but I felt like he was so smart and so schooled that it wasn’t at my level and someone I could relate to. He had all the book answers, but in the meantime, I didn’t have a group, I didn’t have the community… I wish I’d had a program like Atlantic back then because you have that scholarly wisdom, but also conversations with peers that are going through similar things as you.”
