Music and Mental Health, from the Mouths of Students

While research on music and wellbeing has generated lots of good discovery on how young people can use music to thrive, these findings are often buried in academic language or long reports. PBS NewsHour’s Student Reporting Lab has taken a fresh look at how music can impact the wellbeing of young people, examining the ways that rhythm, music-making, and songwriting can help young people to self-soothe and express themselves creatively. This short video is fun, thought-provoking, and sure to resonate with young people.
