Rolling Stone : declared in Chris Cornell Music Therapy Program Established in Seattle

The Chris Cornell Music Therapy Program will be open to children at Childhaven who are infants up to five years old. Along with helping the music therapy program at Childhaven, the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation was dedicated to assisting child refugees. The Chris and Vicky Cornell foundation previously contributed to Childhaven's music therapy program in 2013. The Seattle-based nonprofit Childhaven announced the establishment of the Chris Cornell Music Therapy Program Thursday in honor of what would have been the late musician's 53rd birthday. Music therapy specifically gives kids a creative outlet through which they can express and grapple with their feelings.

Music Therapy Program Created in Memory of Chris Cornell

A music therapy program in Seattle is honoring the memory of the late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. All children at Childhaven will receive a chance to undergo therapy through the music program. The nonprofit Childhaven created a new music program on Thursday thanks in part to a $100,000 donation from Cornell's widow, Vicky, meant to help traumatized children. It was great being your friend & bandmate but I never ever stopped being a huge FAN of you and your music," Morello wrote. You truly give me strength for our children and for my love @chriscornell .


"The Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation is excited to join Childhaven to support its extraordinary work impacting the lives of those in need," said Vicky Cornell in a statement. But here's a bit of news that will help ease the pain of a rough day: Seattle non-profit Childhaven has announced a new Music Therapy program for children in Cornell's name. Local musician Brian Vogan, who runs the music therapy program at Childhaven, talked to Rolling Stone about the power of music to heal:"Because of what they've experienced, a lot of children come to Childhaven struggling with anger and other overwhelming emotions. The program, jump-started by a $100,000 donation from the Chris & Vicky Cornell Foundation, will focus on a therapeutic early-learning model developed by Childhaven that helps kids up to age 5 cope with the effects of traumas like abuse, neglect, and domestic violence.
