Program funded: August 2014 (one-time payment)

Java Music Club supports patients in Swedish/Edmonds’ mental health unit, bringing instruments, resources and opportunities for patients to use music, readings, photographs and storytelling in group therapy. Skills gained or improved upon as a result of this therapy program include coping skills, social interaction, emotional regulation skills, symptom management, enhanced self-esteem and a sense of social belonging. The Verdant Health Commissions’ support provided curriculum and materials necessary for the staff to launch this new program with patients.
