We are so fortunate to work with the future...our children. As we head into the latter half of June, here's a good reminder from one of the schools we serve: be the "I" in "KIND!"
Music therapy offers students an excellent opportunity to put their interpersonal skills into practice. Playing music in a group requires collaboration, turn-taking, problem-solving, and listening to one another. When all of these things come together, we find cooperation and connection - skills that serve us well both inside and beyond the classroom.

No one grows up aspiring to live with addiction.
Yet today, 21% of Canadians (about 6 million people) will meet the criteria for addiction in their lifetime, and nearly 49 million Americans are living with a substance use disorder.
Addiction changes the brain—often leading to cycles of craving, disconnection, and loss of self.
Recovery requires more than medical stabilization. It requires meaningful opportunities to heal, retrain the brain, reset the nervous system, and rebuild connection.
That’s why Berklee College of Music has partnered with Boston Public Health Commission to integrate music therapy across detox, residential, outpatient, and peer-support settings.
This initiative highlights what’s possible when music and health work hand in hand.

Here are 4 ways Music Therapy benefits patients in Acute Care ⬇️
1️⃣ MOTIVATION: Music Therapists use the brain's reward response to music to enhance motivation in recovery. Music Therapists may even facilitate co-treatments with other Allied Health disciplines to enhance patient outcomes.
2️⃣ MOOD: Music is linked deeply to our emotions and can provide emotional support during a patient's hospital stay.
3️⃣ MOVEMENT: The body and brain naturally entrain to a consistent beat. Music Therapists can optimize this natural response to increase patient movement and coordination with music.
4️⃣ MEMORY: Music can evoke memories and reminiscence, promoting positivity and relaxation, and improving working memory function during patient recovery.
In November 2025 we were honoured to receive the Health Quality Alberta Patient Experience Award for the important work our team of Music Therapists does every day.
