Group Programs
Vital Voices offers a variety of therapeutic groups in the community to support parents, infants, young children and families through shared musical exploration, creativity and connection. These groups may run across several weeks or months in a series block or may be an individual group event.
Groups may involve a variety of music-based therapeutic methods and techniques to address specific shared health and wellbeing goals such as:
-
Therapeutic singing groups to offer connection and support for new mother's navigating matrescence and motherhood
-
Early years music groups for infants, caregivers and families to target key developmental milestones, foster the parent-infant attachment relationship and support parents in their parenting journey
-
Music and matrescence groups, involving music performance, group singing, music and relaxation, improvisation and supportive discussion and sharing around the transitional changes of becoming a mother and the importance of music as a supportive resource across motherhood
Please get in touch if you are wanting to know more about group options for yourself or to enquire about partnering with us for future group possibilities as a host organisation. All queries are welcomed.
