MAAT (Music & Art After Trauma) YouTube Links
Project MAAT (Music & Art After Trauma), is a weekly online forum featuring educational discussions on various sensitive topics around trauma, mental health and wellness combined with a music and/or art component with weekly guests. Research has indicated the power of connection, music and art for people who are living with mental illness and trauma (this is evidence-based). We believe this project will be therapeutically beneficial for individuals and families living with the negative impact of trauma and mental illness. We believe this is a unique and innovative way to reach the most amount of people given the current situation with the COVID 19 pandemic and social restrictions.
Funding for Project MAAT (April 2021-March 2022) is generously provided by the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia. We are immensely grateful for their financial assistance and support.
