With the goal to improve quality of life for the community of Martha’s Vineyard, the Farm Neck Foundation has awarded Seven Hills Vineyard Supports with a grant of $2,400 to provide music therapy to participants with disabilities.
Music therapy has proven to promote wellness, manage stress, increase self-esteem, express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication, and promote physical rehabilitation – all things needed when you are in the middle of a pandemic. Thanks to the Farm Neck Foundation, Abigail Ritter, Seven Hills Music Therapist, will lead Vineyard participants through song and dance on her guitar while individuals participate safely at home on Zoom. As the pandemic continues to keep participants with disabilities safe at home, we are grateful to be able to add another activity to our repertoire because of the Farm Neck Foundation.
