When children and young adults are affected by low self esteem, anxiety or depression, music therapy is recognised, worldwide, as an effective and non-stigamatising form of therapy.
Music therapy involves a trained and certified professional using music in a clinical and evidence-based way to accomplish each patient’s individualized objective. Music is used to reduce a child’s pain, offers them the ability to express themselves without words, and facilitates relaxation through singing, playing instruments, writing songs or listening to music. This popular and longstanding psychology practice uses the physical, emotional, mental, aesthetic and spiritual facets of music to help people improve their overall health.
