every one

every one is a community care effort to support mental health and harassment prevention at the festival. This year we are partnering with Never a Bother to spread awareness and reduce stigma around mental health and suicide prevention.

We see you, we hear you, and most of all, we want to help you to get support for a friend or yourself.

What is Never a Bother?

Never a Bother is a campaign launched in 2024 by California Department of Public Health’s Office of Suicide Prevention. Our big goal is to prevent suicide among teens and young adults in California. We also want to reduce self-harm, while encouraging friends to recognize the power they have to support someone in crisis.

Our every one space on festival grounds is a place where we invite you to rest, recharge and take care of yourself during festival hours.

The every one team in partnership with Never a Bother will be sharing mental health resources and hosting interactive programming centered around wellness and self-care.

Hold each other accountable.

Be an upstander, not a bystander.

Practice active consent.

Know where your nearest wellness services are: every one space, medical and water refill.

Be respectful of people's identities, cultures, and cultural practices.

Enjoy yourself responsibly and take care of each other.

Remember: You are never a bother and every one deserves to feel safe.

These are some things to keep in mind and pack as you get ready for Coachella.

Make a contingency plan

• Phone tip: Share location with everyone in your group.
• Predetermine a place to meet up that’s clear, specific and easy to find. Example: Spectre or a specific info kiosk.
• Be aware of your physical, mental, emotional needs and take care of them regularly.

Check your medication needs

• Read through the safety information and be aware of any possible interactions.
• Pack enough for your entire stay and bring your prescription with you.

Do a mental health check-in with your group

• Share with each other how to identify signs that people might be in need of support.
• Check-in on a regular basis and be honest about how you each feel.

Bring a refillable plastic water bottle (no glass, metal aluminum or steel containers allowed) and a nice smelling lotion that reminds you of a calm moment (lavender, eucalyptus).
