Abstract

With increasing socio-political tension around the world, mental health practitioners are expected to address the complex mental health needs of their clients. Music offers one antidote to our current social conditions. A meta-analysis of 400 studies found that music can positively influence physical and mental health outcomes. Listening to music was even found to be more effective than prescription drugs in reducing anxiety among patients before surgery. Even further, listening to music and performing music can also help individuals increase participants’ sense of belonging and connection to others. This presentation will engage the participants in rhythm and group drumming activities that can foster connection and wellness.
