Facility Based Music Therapy
This program is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional. Music therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals.
One of the interventions we use in music therapy is to write songs as a means of expressing and processing emotions, especially if there has been a traumatic event. Consumers have written songs about going out to eat and playing jokes on the staff but also more serious situations such as staff leaving or a family member passing away.
