About this event
Integrative music support groups utilize music to encourage positive changes in mood and overall well-being. These online sessions may include music listening, discussion, interpretation, creative expression, song-writing, or other music interventions. Some of the documented benefits of music therapy include improved self-esteem and self-confidence, decreased feelings of anxiety and depression, increased motivation and focus, increased ability to identify and articulate emotions, and stronger connections to other people.
Online sessions are offered with Kayla Connick, LPMT, MT-BC, for first responders and those affected by the Route 91 tragedy who have been approved for this no-cost integrative service through the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center. Kayla is a board-certified music therapist who believes empathy is the driving force behind a beneficial therapeutic relationship and that music therapy focuses on the whole person’s strengths and unique needs. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Music Therapy from Maryville University and is a licensed practicing music therapist in the state of Nevada.
