Music Therapy
Chase Child Life Program created the University of California's inaugural Music Therapy Program in July 2007. The Music Therapy Program serves children with particularly acute needs who lack a full range of social and emotional stimulation due to extended hospitalizations. Our board certified Music Therapist supports coping and anxiety reduction through music expression, musical imagery, and recording.
A recording studio is being developed in partnership with Music to Heal to engage pediatric patients in song creation, using humor and poetry to externalize feelings. It is this humanizing effect of music in partnership with the creative arts in the hospital environment that can mutually inspire, unify, and ultimately transform a child or adolescent's experience during hospitalization.
