Music Therapy Helping the Homeless

Music Therapy has been a great support in helping the homeless. In a December 2016, article from WNBC Dallas, Texas describes the usefulness of music therapy in an Adult homeless environment.  Kamica King, a certified music therapist leads a group through several music and lyrical sessions the use of song and sound is used to address mental or physical illnesses.   I believe that this process eases some of the pain of dealing with a homeless environment.  These sessions were conducted at The Bridge Recovery Center in downtown Dallas. Texas.  Ms. King states, “Music therapy is a huge benefit for someone who is experiencing homelessness,” “There’s a lot of stress that comes along with homelessness. Their past may include some trauma as well,” said King. (WNBC Texas, Gilmore, 2016)
