Music therapy is defined as the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship. As part of our complementary therapies here at Faith Hospice, music therapy has been shown to increase social support, self-expression, and engagement while decreasing anxiety, restlessness, and agitation, and promoting family bonding and memory-making.
