This training will include a synopsis of music therapy and how music impacts humans on neurophysiological, emotional, and social levels. Participants will be introduced to several music therapy principles and music interventions geared towards addressing non-musical goals with people with mental illness. Ethics regarding scope of practice will also be discussed. Participants will end the training with an experiential component on using music for relaxation and self-care.

 At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:

• Define music therapy;
• Identify how music impacts humans neurophysiologically, emotionally, and socially;
• Implement select music interventions and identify possible modifications and applications for their specific patients;
• Identify ethics related to implementing music interventions within specific scopes of practice;
• Use music effectively in patient relaxation and therapist self-care regimens.
