Find Out About How Music Therapy Has Helped Dementia
Who we work with
Our charity’s mission is to provide a comprehensive and highly professional music therapy service to help pre-school children with language delay and behavioural problems to older age people with dementia and others affected by autism, complex learning issues or anxiety – to cope better with life. Emotionally and socially it can bring joy to both their lives and the families that support them. Music therapy in dementia care can reduce isolation and help someone connect with those around them. It promotes activity, helps people express feelings and ideas and encourages social interaction.

Find Out How to Self Refer Yourself for Music Therapy
Music therapy can help those who are struggling with emotional issues. Anyone over the age of 16 can refer themselves. If you are interested in trying music therapy, please make contact through the website, and specify that you are interested on your own behalf. Key Changes will ring you to discuss your interest, and will send you a form for completing, for giving your consent to receive music therapy, and for some referral information, including the name and contact details of another professional who supports you, who the therapist can refer to if required.
A few initial sessions will be recommended, usually 4, from which the therapist will make recommendations, going forward. There will be a cost for therapy provision, which Key Changes will discuss with you before you agree to the first contact with the therapist.
