Room 217 is bringing its Level 1 Music Care Training to two sites in Ontario this fall. It will be held in Sault Ste. Marie Sept. 28-29 and Oct. 12-13 in Markham.
Attached is a PDF of the goals and modules of the course, so you can see the scope of what’s being taught. I’ve also attached a PDF of our current education schedule, which includes these classes. Music Care Training is a continuing education course that provides baseline training for the music care approach, and teaches anyone to integrate music into care.
Here is a link to registration. For groups of 5 or more from one organization, we offer a group discount. Call me or Shannon at 1-844-985-0217 for information on that.
Please share this information with your members and professional colleagues.
Regards,
Deb

We Want to Showcase Our Members!
Did you know that CTRA has a recognition wall on the website? Our goal is to improve and expand on this section of the CTRA website. In order to do so we are asking our members if you know of a Recreation Therapist or team of Recreation Therapist’s who deserve to be recognized for their efforts in the field?
Please send information to Sara at websiteadmin@canadian-tr.org
Let’s start celebrating our profession nationwide together!
