Prospect Music Therapy Singapore

In November 2024, a groundbreaking publication on music therapy for advanced dementia was published in Nature Mental Health, validating its role as a significant treatment modality.

The study showed how music therapy reduced distress, improved emotional well-being, and fostered connection. Tailored music taps into preserved neural pathways, helping individuals recall memories, relax, and engage.

Caregivers and families are key. By sharing insights, joining sessions, and continuing music at home, they extend the benefits beyond therapy.

With solid outcomes, music therapy must remain funded under the NDIS as THERAPY SUPPORT to support individuals with dementia and their caregivers.

Discover how music therapy is transforming dementia care and why it deserves continued recognition and support.
