BRAVE BEATS
When fleeing an abusive situation, mothers and their children seek refuge in shelters that offer temporary housing and social support. Brave Beats offers a nonthreatening outlet for emotional expression and helps to regulate stress responses for children living in these circumstances.
Moreover, music therapy provides a safe space for these children to process trauma through creative engagement, fostering a sense of control and promoting healing through rhythmic and melodic experiences.
The board-certified music therapist:
•
Offers bi-weekly children’s music therapy to foster joy and coping skills.
•
Applies age-appropriate, setting-relevant interventions.
“When you bring music into a space with the purpose of having it be therapeutic, it can open a person up…to communicate...to decrease that sense of isolation they might have felt due to their trauma.”
Rachel Ebeling
Executive Director, The Angel Band Project
