Music Therapy Impact Fund Grant
Requisitos de elegibilidad
“Music therapy is the professional use of music and its elements as an intervention in medical, educational, and everyday environments with individuals, groups, families, or communities who seek to optimize their quality of life and improve their physical, social, communicative, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health and wellbeing. Research, practice, education, and clinical training in music therapy are based on professional standards according to cultural, social, and political contexts” (World Federation of Music Therapy, 2011).
The immediate goals of the Music Therapy Impact Fund are to develop music therapy programs in Butte County, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease, hospice and palliative care, and at-promise youth.
The Music Therapy Impact Fund strives to keep costs low or free to participants of their programs.
