Research on social connectedness with young people transitioning

between school and adult services using music.

Are you someone with disability aged between 16 and 30 years old

in the Geelong area?

Or

Do you know someone with disability aged between 16 and 30

and could let them know about this project?

If so, we would like you to get involved in setting up a community music

group.

Why are we doing this research?

Young people with disability may face challenges with making friends

and feeling part of their community after they leave school. The aim is to:

Get involved in community music making and

Enhance social connections

Who are we?

The project is being undertaken by a music therapist and PhD candidate

from the University of Melbourne in partnership with Scope. It is being

funded by a Postgraduate Award Scholarship and Scope.
