Louise R. Lester Foundation Awards Grant to Support Music Therapy at 5 Points

5 Points Music Sanctuary is proud to share that we have been awarded a grant of $7,500 from The Louise R. Lester Foundation to support our Healing Through Music program. This funding allows us to continue offering free group music therapy for individuals living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) who would not otherwise have access to this type of care. 

For many survivors, recovery involves more than medical treatment. It involves rebuilding connections with themselves and others. Music therapy offers a positive and engaging way to support emotional, cognitive, and social goals. Many insurance plans do not cover music therapy as a standalone service, and out-of-pocket costs can prevent individuals from participating. This grant allows survivors to take part in therapy. 

What This Grant Makes Possible

With support from The Louise R. Lester Foundation and in partnership with Anderson Music Therapy Services, the grant will fund:

Five 12-week virtual group therapy cycles

Each group is limited to 12 participants for a focused and supportive environment. Up to 60 people will be able to participate throughout the year. Virtual programming removes barriers related to mobility challenges, transportation, and distance. 

Commitment to Healing Through Music

Since 2017, 5 Points Music Sanctuary has invested more than $60,000 in music therapy services for children and adults, including children with developmental delays, veterans living with PTSD, and individuals recovering from neurotrauma. This grant allows the program to continue growing and keeps therapy accessible for people who need it.
