Local, culturally appropriate psychosocial models are critical for success with traumatized populations. The creation of a tangible product – a written, recorded, and professionally produced and mastered song – allows Healing in Harmony artists to take charge of their own healing journey, and take meaningful steps towards long-term recovery.
WHEN PEOPLE ARE DEPRIVED OF JUSTICE, THEY CREATE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE OF HOPE AND HEALING. THE BEST WAY TO EXPRESS THIS IS THROUGH ART AND MUSIC.
Integrating holistic, psychosocial therapeutic methods with music is creating a breakthrough in the healing process. The patients are transformed, becoming artists.
