The impact of music therapy on patients
March is Music Therapy Awareness Month.
At Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, music therapy is more than just sound, it’s support, comfort, and connection. From easing anxiety before procedures to helping patients express emotions and build coping skills, music plays a powerful role in healing.
Trained music therapists use music in different ways, like playing, singing, or listening, to support patients through their health-care journey.
Through every note, rhythm, and song, music therapy helps brighten days and support the well-being of patients and families. Music Therapy, part of the Mosaic Child Life Program funded by JPCHF, helps patients and their families gain physical and emotional healing and wellness.
