Young Adults

Music Therapy can provide a consistent and comforting presence during a young adult’s transition into further education, community involvement, employment or independent living. For those individuals living with a developmental, learning and/or physical disability; chronic illness or mental health issues, music can promote feelings of safety and stability and lead to improved quality of life. For some clients the Music Therapist can provide consistency through delivering ongoing sessions during the transition between existing school / college / residential facilities and new living or learning venues.

For young adults, group or individual Music Therapy can provide:

• Opportunities for socialisation with others in a similar situation
• Reducing feelings of isolation and vulnerability
• The opportunity to express emotions in a safe, consistent and non-verbal environment whatever the changing circumstances
• Opportunities to address specific emotional or wellbeing issues during periods of transition to new settings
• Providing a place to process experiences and emotions about changing situations
