ACTION
Rhythmix, a charity aiming to transform the lives of vulnerable people through music making, has been working with 11- to 25-year-olds with mental health issues since partnering with child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in East Sussex in 2008. Music in Mind has now engaged more than 1,000 young people across Sussex, Surrey and Kent, through partnerships with seven NHS organisations. Funders include Comic Relief, Youth Music, Amy Winehouse Foundation and National Lottery Awards for All.
Music in Mind - winner of the Mental Health and Wellbeing category at the 2017 CYP Now Awards - involves a Rhythmix tutor guiding a group through music-making, working alongside a mental health professional from a referral organisation. It aims to increase participants' self-expression and reduce anxiety and isolation.
