TRANSITIONS TO ADULTHOOD

Music can provide a consistent and comforting presence during a young adult’s transition into further education, community involvement, employment or independent living. For those individuals living with a developmental, learning and/or physical disability; chronic illness or mental health issues, music can promote feelings of safety and stability and lead to improved quality of life.

For young adults, group or individual music therapy can provide:

Opportunities for socialisation with others in a similar situation
Reducing feelings of isolation and vulnerability
The opportunity to express emotions in a safe, consistent and non-verbal environment whatever the changing circumstances
Opportunities to address specific emotional or well-being issues during periods of transition to new settings
Providing a place to process experiences and emotions regarding changing situations

For some clients the music therapist can provide consistency through delivering ongoing music therapy sessions at existing school / college / residential facilities, with sessions continuing at new living or learning venues.

"As an MTW approved supervisor, I have witnessed MTW MTs encouraging, reflecting and reaching deeply held feelings that may not have otherwise ever have been expressed or heard. They then use these observations and information to determine the best way forward for a successful therapeutic process."

“(Music Therapy) gives all of the children a space to express themselves. We notice a change in them whilst in the sessions. We also notice that they come back to class calmer.”

“Music allows us to meet clients at these moments where there are no words. It provides a language which the music therapist uses to allow each individual to process and move through even the most unbearable experiences.”
