Music Therapy
Application for Internship
The music therapy program at IVH involves a variety of individual and group activities that use music to benefit each and every resident involved. There are groups that use music to work on tough issues such as relationships, grief, addictions, loneliness and self-esteem. There are groups that involve music making activities to improve leisure skills such as guitar classes and the tone chime choir. Individual sessions involve such things as music listening, songwriting, music lessons, guided imagery and singing to promote the needs of the residents, i.e. decreasing anxiety and depression, improving communication skills, providing opportunities for emotional expression, and increasing self-esteem.
