Description:  

Shine Down? Sabaton? Ozzy? They are loud and (sometimes) misunderstood. How would families react if part of a recovery/wellness plan was listening to heavy metal music? Hunter has many different strategies to deal with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation as well as just dealing with LIFE! This session will provide examples of hard rock music and how it helps Hunter survive and get through life. His dad will also join him to bring in the family’s perspective. Come listen, reflect, and learn how Hunter has learned to use music and maybe leave with some new favorites from his Mental Health Playlist (available on Spotify).
