Rhythm2Recovery delivers a therapeutic program that utilises fun and engaging rhythmic musical activities. It recognizes the uplifting power of music and the challenges of talk-based approaches in engaging and supporting many people facing social and emotional challenges. This approach has been shown to support increased emotional regulation, improved social connection and reduced levels of anxiety and other elements of psychological distress.

Core elements of the Rhythm2Recovery model include a focus on:

• SAFETY - Exercises promote a safe therapeutic environment and examine the importance of safety in everyday life & healthy relationships.
• VALUES - Helping people identify what really matters to them in order to find direction and provide a compass for behaviour.
• BELONGING - Music serves as a pathway to connection; exercises explore avenues to social acceptance and community engagement.
• SELF-AWARENESS - Mindful awareness allows us to reflect on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours without being beholden to them.
• SELF-RESPONSIBILITY & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY - Responsibility allows us to take control of our own lives, and work well with others.
• POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS - Exercises foster the relational skills necessary to develop supportive, healthy and respectful relationships with others.
• EMOTIONAL REGULATION - Musical exercises focusing on tempo & volume, impact regulatory parts of the brain to assist in the development of improved regulatory skills
• ALTRUISM - Exercises and activities promote the rewards of giving to, and supporting others
