About this training:
Although it’s very important to maintain the distinction between art and therapy, community musicians are often in positions where they need to support their participants’ mental health. This training is specifically for musicians and vocalists and takes a person-centred approach to understanding trauma and incorporating this understanding into your creative practice.

This training will:

Explore the benefits of music and music-making on mental health and wellbeing;
Unpick popular perceptions and misuse of language around trauma and PTSD;
Provide an overview of the physiology of trauma and an insight from the perspective of a clinical psychotherapist;
Offer practical tips for creating safe spaces for participants and avoiding practices which may re-traumatise participants;
Create a space to explore problem solving using real-life scenarios;
Explore asset-based approaches to understanding trauma within social justice frameworks.
This event is aimed at musicians and vocalists working in communities.
