    endeavor, Sophies Place, TTFF was able to launch a Mobile Music Therapy program for children at camp and in local hospitals. Each week at camp, our team of board certified music therapists engage children in song writing, singing, playing, moving to, and listening to music to help alleviate chronic pain and aid in communication. They also help children share their stories, build confidence and self-esteem, and inspire hope and creativity. In the spirit of Sophies Place, TTFF has purchased a Mobile Music Therapy van to bring music to children who are homebound or patients in local hospitals. Stay up to date on our Mobile Music Therapy program by Liking us on Facebook.
