In particular, we have a responsibility to our clients, and employees as well as the extended community.  From a Music Therapist point of view it is important to be aware that we us our feelings to form the basis of how to relate to clients regardless of their abilities.  We may work with various types of life or health circumstances or disabilities.  It is helpful for us to be aware of our feelings towards people who find themselves in any of these circumstances and each reaction gives us information about our underlying attitudes and beliefs about what it means to be healthy and normal (pp. 23-24 Wheeler, Shultis, Polen).

Commitment and taking responsibility for our actions and encourage a positive contribution towards improving standards for our clients and employees, our impact on the environment and improving the quality of life at the places of employment and in the local community.
