JewishCare offers small, supportive Music Therapy groups for people experiencing distress or feeling overwhelmed. Groups are facilitated by a Registered Music Therapist. No musical experience is needed.
PROGRAMMES & SUPPORT
Music Therapy
When words feel out of reach, music can help. A relaxed, supportive space to explore what you are feeling through sound, rhythm and song.
About this support
Explore feelings through music
Listening, playing, rhythm, sound and songwriting offer ways to explore thoughts and feelings that can be hard to put into words. Everything is optional, including joining in by simply listening.
Space for connection and calm
The group offers opportunities to express difficult feelings, notice your inner experience, share with others and find moments of rest and enjoyment. You can find your own voice at your own pace.
