Does Music Speak to You?

Music taps deeply into the emotions and communicates with people in ways language alone can’t It can elicit joy or prompt tears. Music therapy uses that power to help people identify and express emotions, increase their sense of belonging, facilitate relaxation and even improve physical comfort.
In Yolo Hospice’s new music therapy program, therapists adapt the choice and therapeutic use of music to meet the needs of each patient. In addition to providing this service to patients and their loved ones, Yolo Hospice is offering a free, six-week grief support group using music to comfort grieving community members.
To register or learn more about the group, please call the Bereavement Department at Yolo Hospice at (800) 491-7711. To read the Davis Enterprise article about Yolo Hospice and music therapy click here.

Quotes

Judy Norton
"Coping with terminal illness is all consuming for patient and family. As a hospice nurse, I feel it is most important to advocate, respect and use the knowledge we have to make the end of life the most comfortable it can be while always keeping in mind the unique needs of each patient."
