“What do music therapy sessions with adolescents look like? How do I build rapport with teens? Where do I start with interventions?” These are common questions shared by beginning and seasoned music therapists. Considering how many different populations exist within this demographic (along with the complex growth period of adolescence combined with multifaceted personal experiences and perspectives of each teen) it is challenging to provide simple answers to these questions. Adolescent Mental Health Toolbox: Empowering Music Therapists to Support Teens in Clinical and Community Settings aims to provide practical considerations and creative goal-oriented interventions when working with groups in a variety of settings, including youth who are part of:
- Acute in-patient mental health units
- Out-patient support groups
- After-school programs
- Support groups for specific needs (ADHD, home instability, complex family dynamics, foster care, etc.)
- Struggling with substance use
- Victims of violence or abuse
- Music enrichment programs
These intervention ideas are thorough enough that they can be replicated exactly to create a successful therapeutic session, or they can be modified to incorporate any therapist’s unique artistic interpretation. Expand on interventions in order to create up to a one hour session of therapeutic support through music, or use two or more interventions interchangeably to create a multi-dynamic session that can accommodate hours of exceptional music therapy!
