Talinda Bennington Launches New Campaign in Honor of Chester

Linkin Park

Talinda Bennington, wife of Linkin Park’s late Chester Bennington, has launched a new campaign in honor of her husband:

The idea for 320 was born out of my personal experience and the recognition that we can do better to address the needs of those who are suffering with mental health concerns and addiction. For 13 years I watched my husband Chester struggle with depression and substance use. I often felt scared and alone. I was uneducated about the challenges he faced and I wanted information – but finding answers to my questions and available help for our family was very difficult.
