You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has never felt the emotional impact of music.
Although this is a sensation we’ve all experienced, music therapy is often the subject of scorn from both mental health professionals and the general public.

And unlike many other forms of therapy, that of the musical variety can have both psychological and physiological benefits. Jargon aside, however, the actions of music therapists — especially when they’re helping children — speak far louder than words.
The combined efforts of dedicated therapists, doctors, and activists help children overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles every single day. To learn more about The Children’s Cancer Association, be sure to check out their website.
