Let go of stress with this breathing video. Spring is a time of renewal but stress, anxiety and overwhelming thoughts don’t always follow the seasons. Take a moment today to pause, inhale slowly, exhale slowly and reset your mind.

Even a few minutes of intentional breathing can help calm your body, ease anxiety and bring you back to center. Your mental health matters, every season.

At Summit Oaks Hospital, we recognize the powerful role music plays in healing both the mind and body. As part of our comprehensive approach to treating mental health, substance use and co occurring disorders, music therapy provides patients with a creative and meaningful way to engage in their recovery.

Did you know music therapy:
• Helps reduce stress and anxiety
• Allows individuals to express emotions that may be hard to put into words
• Builds connection, community and emotional awareness

Music can be a powerful pathway to healing. At Summit Oaks, we’re proud to offer therapies that treat the whole person. We’re here for you 24/7, call 800 753 5223. We offer inpatient and outpatient treatment for mental health, substance use disorders or both.
