Music Helps
Music Helps is a free interactive online course giving caregivers an understanding of the role music can play in the care they provide to people living with dementia, whether at home or in a residential setting.
The four-hour, self-guided course comprises five chapters exploring the user’s relationship with music and the use of music in dementia care, offering guidance, videos, exercises and resources to draw upon.
Originally developed in 2020 for caregivers in India, Music Helps has since been adapted for the UK. The content of each version is tailored to the cultural context of the country.
