CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) — Survivors of brain injuries in Central Virginia are finding a new way forward, through music.
The Center for Creative Healing, which first launched in Richmond, has expanded into Charlottesville with support from a state grant through the Commonwealth Neurotrauma Initiative.
“Region Ten has been able to partner with us to use their space to provide music therapy services for people with traumatic brain injuries, concussions, or spinal cord injuries,” said Anna McChesney, CEO of the Center for Creative Healing.
“I just wanted to give Raven a shout-out. She has been a ROCKSTAR with our patient. He absolutely loves music therapy. His mother is so thankful and grateful to Raven and everyone at The Center for Creative Healing. Thank you ALL for everything you do. Music therapy is such an important and vital therapy and I’m so thankful my clients are having an opportunity to receive it!”
