Direct referral portal for young people experiencing challenges with mental health.

Supported by the Sir Norman Lamb Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, this platform is for anyone with children and young people experiencing challenges with their mental health, to access a programme of four sessions online music therapy sessions delivered by our most experienced Music Therapists.

By accessing the programme we aim to work with the participant to explore their relationship with music and how it can help them with their mental health - both directly as a result of accessing the sessions and in working on strategies that the participant might be able to use in the future.

The sessions are structured around four areas of music and wellbeing:

Getting to know you and the role of music in your life
Venting negative emotions
Enjoyment
Self-connection

We also strive to provide appropriate signposting to our own groups and services alongside other services available throughout the third sector.

To make a referral please complete the simple form below.

Due to the demand of this service we will make no more than three attempts to make initial contact with the service user within a period of 14 days. If there is no response within this time we assume the service is not required and the place offered to those next in line

Consent

What is music therapy? Everyone is uniquely responsive to music regardless of their skill and level of ability. Music therapy is a psychological intervention that uses evidence-based approaches to meet the client’s developmental, social, emotional and functional needs. At the core of the work is the development of the therapeutic relationship within a safe, predictable environment that fosters creative potential and encourages self-expression, autonomy, and self-awareness. What do music therapy sessions look like? Music therapy sessions are offered upon your consent which you may withdraw at any point preferably in writing. The sessions are facilitated by an HCPC-registered Music Therapist working in partnership with Musical Keys. There will be 4 sessions offered which will take place every week and last 30-45mins each. During the sessions the client and the therapist engage in musical and verbal interactions. These may include singing, improvisation, exploration of musical instruments, and other client-led activities. Music therapy sessions and all personal information shared are treated with confidence unless there are safeguarding concerns. Since the sessions will be offered online, it will be parents'/ caregivers' responsibility to provide a quiet and confidential space for the child to engage with the sessions. If parents/ caregivers have any queries or concerns regarding their child or the therapeutic process & further referrals, they are invited to contact the therapist via musictherapy@musicalkeys.co.uk.
