Self-Isolation Support
Due to the UK Government advice on the Coronavirus, many people are being asked to self-isolate. The reason for this is to reduce the spread of the disease and protect the public. Long-time self-isolation may be difficult and may have a negative impact on people's own wellbeing. At Suffolk Music Therapy Services, we have put together a gallery of creative resources, therapeutic music videos and ideas that may help to improve your wellbeing. These resources can be for children and adults. Please have a look and try something new!
