Music Rehab Group in Bournemouth Boosts Mental Health
Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
A music therapy group in Bournemouth, initiated by occupational therapists and supported by the Dorset Community Foundation, is helping individuals with mental health conditions, like schizophrenia, regain confidence and a sense of purpose through music. The initiative, which has been running for over a year, allows participants to reconnect with music as a meaningful occupation, providing them with hope and social engagement. Gaynor, a saxophonist who had stopped playing due to her illness, is now preparing to perform an original song with the group, feeling she has regained a part of her life.
