Larry Strickland - The Check-In, Mental Health Original Series Presented by ACM Lifting Lives

Larry Strickland, husband of the late Country Music icon Naomi Judd, joins us for the season finale of our original digital series The Check-In, talking openly and frankly about his late wife’s mental health struggles leading up to her passing this spring, as well as his own personal experiences with mental health care.

The Check-In is a new original video series, presented by ACM Lifting Lives, featuring Country Music artists speaking candidly about their experiences sustaining their mental health and sharing frank and thoughtful stories about how they stay strong and stable during challenging times, in an effort to spotlight and de-stigmatize issues affecting millions of music fans across the country and the world. New episodes will roll out regularly.
