Mental Health Music Course

Mental Health Music Course (MHMC) is Australia’s first mental health training program specifically designed to utilise the healing power of music.

The course focuses on action, as opposed to awareness, and equips attendees with tools and resources to assist with theirs, and others’, mental health.
