The Awesome Music Project (AMP) is an exciting foundation that is exploring the connection between music and mental health through the sharing of stories, songs, and science. Their inaugural fundraising efforts are driving research at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to further validate the use of music therapy to treat depression. Recently, they have been focused on getting music therapy and therapeutic music out to the people who need it right now.⁠

The @theawesomemusicproject (AMP) and the Canadian The @theawesomemusicproject (AMP) and the Canadian Music Therapy Fund (CMTF) are joining forces to bring music therapy to people severely impacted by COVID-19.⁠
⁠
When the pandemic arrived, the folks at AMP were immediately moved by the huge impact it was having on people living in long term care and the frontline healthcare workers doing their best to care for them. They understood the impact this would have on mental health and they knew that music therapy could help. 

The AMP4Life initiative was born, and that’s where we come in! In April, 2020, meetings began about how to get music therapy, virtually, into long term care homes severely impacted by the virus. We started in Bobcaygeon, Ontario, at Pinecrest Nursing Home and the journey continues. ⁠
⁠
The AMP4Life initiative is a perfect fit for the mission of CMTF. This partnership allows us to bring music therapy to people across the country who need it the most!⁠

Many refer to the third Monday in January as #Blue Many refer to the third Monday in January as #BlueMonday. While there is no scientific evidence, some say it is the saddest day of the year. What we know for sure is that winter months in Canada can be difficult for many and any day can feel blue.

We are proud to be joining the @theawesomemusicproject (AMP) on January 18th at 7:30pm EST on a Facebook Livestream as they launch their first in a series of “Songs for a Blue Day”.

Join us to celebrate stories, songs and science dedicated to mental health as we fundraise towards an important cause. For anyone donating on the AMP4Life website between January 18-22, your donations will be matched and you will have a chance to win a $100 Long & McQuade gift card!

We hope to see all of you there! For more  information access the link in our bio.

With many seniors losing regular daycare programs With many seniors losing regular daycare programs due to social distancing, virtual music therapy sessions are providing vital social interactions, especially for those living with dementia. ⁠
⁠
"Music impacts our physiological processes — so it can influence and change our heart rate, our respiratory rate, our brain waves," said Amy Clements-Cortes, a professor at the University of Toronto.⁠
⁠
Virtual music therapy sessions allow clients to stay engaged and connected while providing them with an opportunity to accomplish goals and enhance self-awareness.⁠
