Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA)in partnership with the CPFSA invite you to the Drum Therapy Project Awards Ceremony 

To reduce the anxiety of our children in care due to the COVID-19 pandemic, VPA and the CPFSA have engaged wards of the state from six (6) homes-Muirton, Blossom Gardens, St. Augustine, Granville, Manning, Homestead Child Care Facilities to participate in drumming as a means of therapy. Studies conducted by professionals in the fields of music therapy and mental health highlight that drumming reduces tension, anxiety, and stress.

Twelve caregivers were trained who then trained our children, all will be awarded for their efforts. Tune in to hear feedback from our children and caregivers about the impact drumming has been making in their lives.
