Replacing 1 word in our self talk can make a 🌎 of difference. Instead of waking up, planning our to-do list, and thinking “I HAVE to...”, Erin suggests rephrasing as “I GET to...” This can foster a more #grateful perspective. #selftalk #positiveselftalk #selfcare #gratitude

Erin discusses @MHCC_ ‘s extensive 2014 report. Incorporates a human-centered approach to #mentalillness, & lived experiences of #Recovery. “Our role as practitioners is to help persons find their voice and be #empowered through the recovery model.” #MentalHealth #ONpoli @ONgov

[Music Therapy Academy @ONmusictherapy]

Hope is critical to recovery. Erin Clark RP MTA states that in her experience in mental health settings, and at @OntarioShores, Music Therapists play an important role in sparking #hope 🌈
