Dear CMF Family,
Despite the current circumstances, I hope your summer is off to a good start. There are many activities that you and your loved ones can participate in, including our upcoming Creative Healing: Music As Therapy Webinar on August 7, at 12 pm Pacific, it includes a Music Therapy demo session with our community partners at Creative Healing for Youth in Pain (chyp). Please join us to witness how a Music Therapy session is conducted. This is a family-friendly educational piece, and it may just make you more relaxed and smiling by the end! Register today.
We are honored to work with sick children to help overcome their pain, fear and anxiety during their illness. What makes Children’s Music Fund unique is our innovative research and our commitment to healing through evidence-based Music Therapy.
With your help, we are transforming this underutilized and natural form of healing into a mainstream mode of pain control to help a child smile. Our latest CMF Ambassador, Serj Tankian, vividly shared his personal journey with Music Therapy in his Spread the Love video message.
I hope you appreciate his story as much as I did; and I encourage you to share it with your circle of friends. I’m also proud to share our talented line up of other CMF Ambassadors. See their messages of comfort and hope for sick children here.
Lastly, a quick update on little Emma, our champion cancer patient and first recipient of Telehealth Music Therapy; she is thriving and continues to improve with her communication and coping skills to overcome her illness.
Thank you for your continued support. Here’s another way to get involved. Consider joining our new One Heart Fan Club. Together, we can make more children smile.
Kindly,
Raffi Tachdjian, MD, MPH
