Music Therapy: The Meeting of Art and Science - Artist Talk from the Applied Arts and Social Justice series

Please join the UNE School of Social Work in welcoming Patricia Mulholland as one of our Artists Talk guest speakers. Patricia has long been an advocate of the arts – on the stage, in the classroom, in the corporation, in the community, and in the clinical setting -- and believes deeply that each of us has a creative impulse that longs to be expressed. In 2005 she answered a mid-life call to become a music therapist, a decision driven in large part by her affinity for music as a child. She trained at Berklee College of Music, and obtained board certification in 2011. In 2013 she obtained certification in Neurologic Music Therapy.

Patricia has offered music therapy to patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, stroke, cancer, COPD, TBI, Parkinson’s disease, and others.   In today's lunchtime talk Patricia will discuss the use of music therapy, specifically voice, as a therapeutic modality.

The talk will take place in Blewett 115 on the Portland Campus from 12-1 PM on November 11th. Feel free to bring your brown bag lunch. Coffee and refreshments will be available. All are welcome!
