Music as a Care Tool

 

Learn how to integrate a variety of music-centred activities and approaches into the day-to-day lives of your clients.  Staff from all departments—including management, maintenance, nursing, and more—can play an important role in incorporating music as a core care tool.  In addition to outlining the multifaceted benefits of using music for therapeutic outcomes, staff will participate in a variety of hands-on activities to illustrate the theories discussed.  The goal of this workshop is to assist staff in developing high-quality, effective, concrete, ready-to-implement strategies specific to the needs of their facility and the clients served.

Maintenance Required: The Caregiver's Guide to Self Care

 

Have you ever heard the proverb “The shoemaker’s children go barefoot”?  All too often, those who dedicate their professional or personal lives to taking care of others put their own needs on the back burner.  This workshop will encourage you to examine your own root causes of stress, and uses a variety of activities to support you in developing an individualized self-care plan to prevent burnout and ensure you’re able to give your very best to those you’re caring for.
