NC Hospital Uses Music for Mental Health Therapy
A North Carolina hospital is turning to music to support mental health—and patients say it’s making a difference.
At Cape Fear Valley Health, music therapy is helping patients manage anxiety, express themselves, and connect with others. Led by board-certified therapist Katie Walters, the program lets patients rewrite song lyrics and share their stories in a creative, calming way.
The program, funded by the Arts Council, serves both adults and teens—and for many, it offers a peaceful break from the stress of treatment.
