Music as Therapy

The role of music is
woven into the fabric of our lives. From the lullabies of our
earliest memories to the songs that date the moments we remember,
music serves to not only reflect our memories, but also provide the
therapy to help us through our daily as well as our lifetime
struggles. This session will briefly explore the role of music in
our lives.
Guy Larson, BS –

Yankton native who began playing the 5-string banjo while attending
Colorado State University in 1974. He continued to learn both

away, only to make a re-appearance about ten years ago. Since then,
Guy has actively sought to improve his playing by attending
workshops and lessons with some of the finest living banjo players.
He currently plays in the Pisgah Mountain String Band and is

Doesn’t Need a Title
– One day you’re talking and laughing with colleagues about life and
how stupid management can be, and the next day, you’re the leader –
you’re in charge. Everything is different because it is different.
Before you became a leader, success was all about growing yourself.
When you become the leader, success is all about growing others.
Learn how the seven habits of highly effective leaders can give you
the keys to unlock the secrets of immediate and sustainable success
in your mental health organization. Video clips will be used to
illustrate the seven habits of highly effective leaders and why
leadership doesn’t need a title. Attendees will participate in an

Minds on the Edge
– It’s your brother, your daughter, or
perhaps your best friend struggling with mental illness,
and you don’t understand why it is so difficult to get them the
help they need. And then the problem escalates when an incident
occurs and the police are called to the scene. Why has mental
illness become an issue for the criminal justice system? And
what would you do to get treatment for someone you love? MINDS
ON THE EDGE brings together program panelists with compelling
personal and professional perspectives on the challenges of
mental illness. Panelists zero in on wrenching situations that
are playing out every day in hospital ERs, on city streets and
school campuses, in courtrooms and in jails, as Americans
struggle with serious mental illnesses
like schizophrenia and
bipolar disorder. As the dramatic
scenario of this seminar unfolds, it reveals the personal
dilemmas facing individuals and families, the medical practices
that can be obstacles to treatment, and the public policies that
are falling short. MINDS ON THE EDGE describes a mental
health care
system that one panelist calls “the definition of insanity.”
