Each year, we proudly partner with a national or local charity that's shaping positive and meaningful change in the field of mental healthcare. This year, we are honored to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), an organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death.
We have partnered with AFSP to develop this year's Eric C. Arauz Memorial Keynote Address: Healing Through Music: The Transformative Power of Songwriting in Mental Health, which will take place on Wednesday, September 6 at 6:45 PM. Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer of ASFP will kick off the session by discussing their mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. Following her presentation, Music Neighbors will delve into the power of music as a tool for processing trauma and addressing mental health issues. Through the lens of local musicians, we will experience an iconic Nashville Songwriters' rounds, where artists will share personal stories and perform songs that have helped them to heal. By hearing from these artists, we will explore how music can provide a cathartic release, self-expression, and emotional processing. As part of our continued partnership, we will also be hosting an Out of the Darkness Community Walk for suicide prevention during Psych Congress. The walk will take place on Thursday, September 7, 2023 at 6:30 AM, with pre-walk activities beginning at 6:00 AM. All Psych Congress attendees are encouraged to join us. |
