Music can play a valuable role in recovery from mental illness. It can stimulate emotional responses, develop creative, technical, social and vocational skills, confidence and self-esteem.
Key Changes a London-based charity provides wellbeing and recovery services through music to young people. This December, Key Changes artists have come together to record a song that highlights the importance of mental health and the free 24/7 support and proactive self-care resources available to Londoners this Christmas, through the Healthy London Partnership’s Good Thinking service. Titled “In The Peak Midwinter” the artists reflect on the meaning of Christmas and how to stay healthy during the festive season!
