Belong to Song is a weekly music session for those with lived experience of mental illness. 

​

Each session is attended by participants in various stages of recovery and with a wide range of musical abilities. Supported by a peer facilitator and  professional musician working together to engage participants in music making. All musical genres are welcome and appreciated.​
 

• Many participants share original songs, improvise with the band, or bring lyrics or melodies that facilitators help complete.
   

• Everyone who wants to perform has an opportunity. Some participants come to play an instrument or sing, others just to listen.

​

Belong to Song participants come from CMHA Middlesex, My Sisters' Place, the Prevention & Early Intervention for Psychoses Program (PEPP), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Teams, Parkwood Institute Mental Health Care, and other mental health agencies in the London region.
