CTMTS Presents At National Conference

Last month several members of the CTMTS team attended the annual conference of the American Music Therapy Association in Louisville, Kentucky. It was a wonderful time for learning about current trends in music therapy practice, for connecting with colleagues from around the country and world, for sharing information.

Jennifer Sokira presents at AMTA conference

Jennifer Sokira, along with Jim Borling, MA, MT-BC co-presented “Violent Community Trauma: Music Therapy, Resilience and Self-Care” which focused on the music therapy and community healing, and included her work in the Newtown/Sandy Hook community.  In addition, she attended several meetings in her current position on the AMTA Ethics Board.

Emily Bevelaqua was busy as well, facilitating several meetings in her new role as Co-Chair of the AMTA Professional Advocacy committee.  Matthew Philllps served as a representative on the Association Internship Approval Committee (AIAC), and Cassandra Mulcahy “skyped in” to a meeting of the AMTA Technology Committee.

We are feeling renewed and are excited to bring back everything we learned back to our clients in Connecticut!
