IN A NUTSHELL
Our Mission
Music Mends Minds is a nonprofit that strives to foster worldwide communities among afflicted individuals and their families, friends, volunteers, and caregivers, all of whom can thrive on socialization and music-making. ​
​
We create musical support groups for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and other neurological disorders. This support has taken the form of 50 bands, drum circles, and other music groups in over 10 countries and is still growing. Our goal is to restore the rhythm of life, reconnecting and empowering all individuals and communities suffering from neurodegenerative diseases and more through music.
Through music, we restore the rhythm of life
for loved ones, caregivers, and communities...
Stories of Impact
"As a teacher, my mother was as fiercely devoted to the young ones in her care as she was to her own children. With such an example, I am inspired to find ways to enrich her life. Singing with the 5th Dementia Band makes her face light up with smiles. While I welcome any therapeutic value that music may hold, I find the greatest value is in having a place where my mother can experience joy. I’m so thankful to have found Music Mends Minds."
— Denise Davis, Daughter of Leola Davis
