Music is my therapy: Mandy Griffin (right) from Valeo Behavioral Health Care brought an assortment of drums Monday, April 1 to the Union Underground to lead students in a free group music therapy session. For many, music therapy provides an outlet for expression, a way to release energy, empathy building, a way to transfer negative feelings and positive risk-taking practice. Griffin and other music therapists can use sessions like these to gain insight into behaviors based on client reactions during sessions.
