Annual Music Therapy Conference 2024
Futures-Healing
Working with Child Mental Health
In recent years child mental health issues have sky-rocketed, exacerbated by COVID.
Children are the future. Children are of urgent concern. The number of children unable to return to school post-COVID due to anxiety is escalating.
Music therapy is increasingly acknowledged as beneficial – referrals are increasing for children who are struggling with emotional needs, including those in mainstream education and those with ASD.
Our Annual Conference ’24 is for music therapists and music therapy students who are working with and / or concerned for children’s mental health.
When?
Saturday November 23rd 2024
There will be case studies, discussion, networking and opportunities to explore our thinking through improvisation.
We are thrilled to welcome as our KeyNote speaker: Dr Julie Sutton – psychoanalyst with almost 40 years as a music therapist specializing particularly in trauma:
A daintiness of ear – a psychoanalyst’s view of music therapy (listening out for future healing).
