Glow Up the Office Dance Party – We all love our home here in beautiful Hamilton County Indiana, but did you know that less than 10% of county residents who need mental health treatment actually receive it? Music therapy is a non-invasive and cost effective tool to address mental health concerns as well as overall mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Our Indiana team is opening our first Music Wellness Center in Noblesville, Indiana! The Music Wellness Center will be a place where we can host free, or reduced-cost, music and wellness events for the community as well as group and individual music therapy sessions. Our team is working hard to make the space inviting, comfortable, and inspirational for our patients and their families, as well as our community as a whole. Your participation in this event will support this wellness center being accessible to everyone in our community! We can’t wait to offer services in this amazing space, THANK YOU for your support! – Sept. 16th – 7 to 10pm.
