Help Teens Find Healing in Music

LET’S SUPPORT TEEN MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH MUSIC !!!

As a mental health therapist specializing in teen therapy, I am doing a fund raising event to assist in the purchasing of instruments for some of my teen clients. I know for myself , playing the Cello has been extremely therapeutic and has helped my mental health in many ways.

Why am I doing this? Because the outlets for kids today are becoming more limited and mostly in screen form. Help me show teens that there is so much creativity to be enjoyed in music , especially in creating it.

Here are some facts:

Studies show that just playing an instrument (it doesn't have to be something as aggressive as the drums), can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and in turn, help with anxiety and depression. Remember, it's important to keep a healthy mind as well as a healthy body, so let your creativity shine.

From stress relief and self-soothing to emotion regulation and physiological benefits, music plays a powerful role in mental health and well-being for many people.

For teens, music often takes on an even greater significance—it can contribute to the process of identity formation.

Thank you in advance for any support you may be able to give.

Instruments will be purchased once enough funds are raised. Some of the funds may also pay for a few lessons at the downtown music store in Tracy Ca.

Thank you again for your support.
