This is a study testing whether weekly music therapy can help children who are struggling with depression. Researchers will provide either 11 one-hour music therapy sessions or just an initial assessment, and measure changes in depression and resilience over time.
Depression in children is a serious problem, and researchers want to explore whether music therapy could be a helpful tool to reduce depression symptoms and build emotional strength in young people.

If you join the music therapy group, you'll come to one-hour sessions once a week for 11 weeks to participate in music therapy. Both groups will take a depression screening test and a resilience test at the start and end of the study. Some participants may also visit a local music school and share feedback about their experience.
