Wellness for Higher Education
Music wellness strategies explore stress and anxiety reduction through mindfulness techniques, including deep breathing, meditation, journaling, creative arts, and active music making. Students or staff members faced with particularly stressful periods of their lives can significantly benefit from these approaches. Board-Certified music therapists may focus on using music to develop healthy coping mechanisms, explore using music for wellness and self-care, use music and art strategies for expression, prevent burnout, promote gratitude, and enhance relaxation.
