The Positive Influences of Music on Mental Health

“Music is a universal language for everyone, it helps relax people.” Brian Clyne

MHACA recently funded a music project to increase the wellbeing of our participants, acknowledging the positive and powerful influence that music has on peoples mental wellbeing. ‘Kututu’ in Pitjantjatjara means heart, and the foundation for the Kututu Wattleseeds is based in mediation and mindfulness from which music is then created.

MHACA would like to thank Lucia Swift of Sound Wellness for coordinating this project, Pin Rada for production and the MHACA participants for sharing their stories.

Join the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress TOMORROW at 10am for #WorldNoTobaccoDay at Gap Clinic, 25 Gap Rd, Alice Springs.

Did you know that compared with the general population, people with mental health challenges have higher smoking rates, higher levels of nicotine dependence, and a disproportionate health and financial burden from smoking?

Smoking is used when people are under stress, but these addictive substances can make symptoms worse in the long run. Whilst they can create an immediate sense of relaxation, the people who smoke tobacco then experience withdrawal symptoms which can increase anxiety.
