Music therapy can play a critical role in supporting individuals in a variety of settings and healthcare environments by providing a safe, nonverbal outlet for emotional expression, reducing anxiety and aggression, and fostering connection, self-awareness, and healing where traditional interventions may fall short.

This impact makes music therapy deeply meaningful work, allowing therapists to use creativity and human connection to support healing, build trust, and create moments of progress where they’re often needed most.

FTC recently changed to a new electronic health record, CHARTe, and had the challenge of being the in pilot group to roll it out first! Over the last two months we had team members stay late, run classes overnight, provide hands on troubleshooting, work overtime, and provide on the spot coaching to our staff as we learned the new system. This week, we took a moment to celebrate all of the great team members who made our launch a success! We so proud of everyone’s perseverance and dedication to the facility and our clients! Way to go FTC!
