Objectives:
  1. Participants will identify how rhythm, breath, and gentle movement support nervous system calming and stress reduction. (Knowledge 5A-4, Task 53) 
  2. Participants will experience one music-integrated movement intervention that promotes relaxation in adolescents. (Knowledge 3A-7; 3A-11; Task 31) 
  3. Participants will adapt relaxation interventions for different clinical, school, and community settings. (Knowledge 3A-1, 3A-3; Task 31, 36) 
  4. Participants will identify trauma-informed movement best practices. (Knowledge 1B, 2D9; Task 2, 3, 23, 30)

    Statement of need:
    Music therapists need developmentally appropriate, body-based interventions that help adolescents actively relax and regulate stress through engaging, accessible music and movement experiences

    Abstract:
    Adolescents seeking mental health support experience high levels of anxiety, depression, agitation, and general mood dysregulation. They experience high levels of stress and emotional activation but often lack accessible tools for relaxation. This experiential session introduces music therapy–based movement strategies that help teens relax through rhythm, breath, grounding, and gentle motion. Participants will engage in practical interventions designed to support tension release, and emotion regulation, with brief clinical framing connecting the experience to adolescent development and trauma-informed practice. Attendees will leave with adaptable, ready-to-use relaxation techniques for school, clinical, and community settings.
