Support Art & Soul™ Creative Arts Therapy
Your contribution to Art & Soul™, Creative Arts Therapy allows us to continue providing this excellent program to patients and families in our hospice program. Using music, art, and other creative approaches, our team can create a safe space for patients, families, and children to work through and express their emotions and begin to lay the groundwork for bereavement.
Core elements of Art & Soul™ include:
- Culturally-specific therapeutic services that honor the rituals, traditions, and holidays preferred by families and provide emotional support to anyone who has experienced past suffering related to trauma or loss, such as Holocaust survivors, immigrants, and veterans
- Legacy projects designed with patients and families to portray and memorialize patient and family contributions to one another and the world through recording of memories through hand/footprints, song dedications, CDs, and other creations
- Group music therapy and art therapy sessions, offered in homes and facilities, enhancing social support and communication
- Bereavement sessions for parents, siblings, and children, providing support during grief, enhancing coping skills, and permitting shared experience through culturally-specific remembrances
- Staff support is provided through memorial services that provide for the self-care needs of frontline staff
- Internship training for college students (and future music therapy clinicians) providing 6 to 9 months of supervised training
