The next Sound Health Network webinar will discuss how music therapy is used to help people with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and other painful conditions. Panelists include Samuel Rodgers-Melnick, MT-BC,  a music therapist at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center in Cleveland, Ohio, who developed several interventions directed at improving pain management outcomes in adults with SCD; Kelli McKee, MA, MT-BC, a pediatric music therapist specializing in the treatment of children and teens with cancer and SCD at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St Louis, MO; and Jasmine Edwards, MA, LCAT, MT-BC, a creative arts therapy coordinator at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital within the Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Department in New York. Jasmine has a vested interest in bringing discussions of power, privilege, and oppression into music therapy training and pedagogy.
