Description: Music is everywhere and influences us throughout our day: all day, every day. Imagine a movie or TV show without music, or going to restaurants and retail stores in complete silence. Our society values music to the level of using music for daily manipulation. How do you use music in your daily life? How does music impact our clients in positive and negative ways? Many times, we think we do not hear or pay attention to the music around us. However, our mind often hears the music and the lyrics. When we are healthy, mentally, spiritually and emotionally, music can generally have benign consequences. But, when we are not in good health, music can result in negative outcomes. Explore the many facets of music.
Learn how music is constructive and destructive to our daily lives. Examine ways to utilize music in treatment with individuals seeking addiction recovery. Explore ways to use music in your own daily life to reduce stress and manage daily focus. Incorporating music in treatment can help those struggling with addiction break self-destructive behavioral patterns. Allow music to be a positive life force.

Presenter: Kia Glosson, MSW, LCSWA
Description: This workshop will introduce participants to six wellness skills. CRM Workshops help create “trauma-informed” and “resiliency-informed” individuals and communities that share a common understanding of the impact of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system and how resiliency can be restored or increased using this skills-based approach.
The two fundamental goals of CRM are to help adults learn to track their own nervous systems in order to bring the body, mind and spirit back into greater balance, and to encourage people to pass the skills along to family, friends and their wider community. CRM can be used as self-care for those community members who are the front-line workers, responding to crisis situations or who live in highly traumatized and/or marginalized communities.
