WFMT: Music Therapy Crisis Support

SPECIAL WEBINAR FOR UKRAINE: MUSIC THERAPY IN CRISIS SUPPORT - World Federation of Music Therapy (WFMT) to host webinar on 12 March 2022, at 3 PM GMT
Our music therapy colleagues in many countries have responded admirably to the growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. They are working long hours in very difficult circumstances to offer help to individuals and families who are severely traumatized and had to leave their homes very suddenly, fleeing for their lives.

This specially organized crisis intervention webinar features music therapy experts in psychological first aid and trauma care who have vast experience working with refugees in disaster and crisis situations. The main objective of this webinar is to provide music therapists, currently working with refugees or are in countries preparing to receive refugees, with specialized training and technical support. On that note, we would like to offer our sincere gratitude to our panel of experts Barbara A. Else (USA), Liz Llewellyn-Coombes (UK), Mireya Gonzalez (CHILE) and Mitsi Akoyunoglou (GREECE) for their kindness of spirit and generosity of service to provide music therapists with this rare opportunity, under the banner of the WFMT.

The webinar will also give music therapists an opportunity to ask questions and to offer suggestions about what music therapists can do to care for all who have been affected by this crisis.

The World Federation of Music Therapy is responsible for the content of this webinar. We thank Temple University for providing the technology platform to make it possible.
