Our Programs
MUSIC THERAPY SESSIONS
Unlike any other domestic violence advocacy organization, Young Starr Movement provides music therapy to victims. This can often serve as a tool to help heal individuals that have suffered from domestic violence. Music Therapy is designed to reduce stress, improve coping, and process the trauma associated with the crisis by drawing on a range of techniques including musical improvisation, songwriting, singing, sharing stories, and relaxing with music.

This is program is an initiative by our organization’s founder. Young Starr is available to speak to groups, schools, corporations and organizations.
