In this mini episode we feature clips from the full episode called 'Music is a Bridge for Caregivers and Their Loved Ones' with Alexis Baker. Alexis is a board-certified music therapist who works with caregivers and their loved ones living with dementia. We start with Alexis describing music therapy. We then visit the chapter Alexis wrote in the newly released resource for caregivers called “A Caregiver’s Advocate: A Complete Guide to Support and Resources” where she speaks about music therapy as it pertains to caregiving.
Music Therapy can be a useful activity even for those who do not consider themselves to be musicians, and it can help improve connections between caregivers and their loved ones by building a bridge. Alexis explains how beneficial this model of music therapy can be especially for folks living with dementia.
