The Acadia School of Music Concert & Lecture Series presents a talk by Dr. Sara Brooks.
Mental wellness in music: where do we even begin? With countless demands on personal and academic time, many music students may feel that are unable to reflect on their own mental wellness needs. Some students may even find themselves as the first point of contact for friends and colleagues, and may often be required to support mental health challenges of others. How do we take time to support our mental wellness needs while balancing the demands of a music career? How do we support the mental health needs of our friends? This session will address common career challenges and individual mental wellness tools for musicians. It will also give attendees take-home tools to support their mental health.
A graduate of the Acadia School of Music, Dr. Sara Brooks now works as a registered psychotherapist and counsellor based in Kitchener, Ontario.
Concert & Lecture Series events are free and all are welcome to attend – please join us!
