OVERVIEW:

Music provides a powerful medium for the transformative care of adolescents in the child welfare system. This session will provide an overview of music therapy, music applications in foster care communities with a focus on group homes, and strategies for the conscientious and ethical use of music in your professional practice. Chris Millett is a music therapist, educator, and returning CEU Creations presenter joining us to share his professional and personal experiences with foster care populations. Aside from serving group home populations for several years, Chris also directs community-based fieldwork at a local group facility for music therapy students and has been a foster / adoptive parent licensed in multiple states since 2017.

OBJECTIVES:

By attending this training, you will be able to:

• Identify the qualifications of and define the basic tenets of the profession of music therapy.
• Explain at least two possible music-based approaches or interventions that could be used in child welfare settings (i.e., either for their own practice or in co-treatment with a music therapist).
• Apply a trauma-responsive, ethically grounded framework to plan a brief music-based group session for youth in out-of-home care.

AGENDA (all times are Eastern):

11:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Log in and Networking

PRESENTER BIO:

Chris Millett, MM, MT-BC

Chris is an Assistant Professor of Music Therapy at the University of Louisville. As a music therapy clinician and educator, Chris identifies from a Community Music Therapy (CoMT) – eclectic theoretical orientation. After nearly a decade, his clinical experience includes a wide range of populations including adolescents in group residential care, pediatric and adult medical populations, addiction recovery, senior living and memory care, exceptional education communities, neurodivergent populations, and more. As clinical and administrative coordinator of a non-profit community music therapy clinic, Chris also has experience in securing grant and philanthropy funding to serve marginalized communities.

Chris has a wide range of music therapy, music technology, and audio engineering experience and enjoys regularly teaching on those topics at regional, online-based, and national conferences. Of primary teaching interest to Chris is the use of electric and acoustic guitar in therapy, expanding music therapists’ music tech literacy (e.g. effects pedals, audio engineering, synthesizers, etc.), and increasing clinical musicianship. Outside of direct clinical work, Chris hosts the podcast / media series Make More Music on podcast platforms and YouTube. He has collaborated with many top electric guitar effects companies including Chase Bliss, JHS Pedals, Wampler Pedals, Caulfield Cables, Yahama, Jamstik, Pedaltrain, Truetone, Strymon Engineering, and more.
