Heartbeat of the Earth – Music Therapy in Indigenous Communities

 

Wednesday, February 25

Music therapy is a highly effective, non-pharmacologic intervention for both Native and non-Native people living with dementia. During this month’s webinar, the presenters will explain how the brain responds to sound and how the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health System’s music therapy program harnesses the power of music to restore balance, harmony, and well-being.

Objectives:

  • Provide a brief overview of how the brain responds to music
  • Understand the neurologic basis of music therapy for people with dementia
  • Gain insight into the value of music and culture-based interventions
