Music Therapy

Music Therapy

Music therapy is a treatment method that involves the use of music to enhance SAM 2479health. Service users can create music, listen to music and discuss it with other brain injury survivors, and users do not need any musical ability to benefit greatly from this service.

Music affects all parts of the brain and is therefore an excellent way of improving functions associated with different areas of the brain. Music is non-verbal and therefore, can be used to communicate feelings and to express emotions when words are difficult to find. Music is also a very social activity and can assist with social inclusion and integration.

Music therapy takes place every Tuesday and Thursday at Headway Belfast with our music therapist Lorraine Ni Bhriain.
