🎶🎤 **Ms. Sara Fawcet Farewell, Thank You!** 🎤🎶

After 3 incredible years, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Sara Fawcet, who has been a true pioneer in establishing the first music therapy service at the Behman Hospital.

"Establishing and delivering the first music therapy service at the Behman over the last 3 years and supporting clients on their journey of recovery and rehabilitation has been a privilege, using music as a means for therapeutic change when words are hard to find has shown the value of different therapeutic interventions in providing holistic care at the Behman." — Sara Fawcet

Sara’s vision and dedication have had a profound impact, laying the foundation for a service that has changed lives. We are thrilled that the music therapy program will continue under Ms. Marie Cassie as the Behman fully integrates this vital offering into its care model.

Wishing you all the very best in your next chapter, Sara. Your time here has created lasting harmony, and your work will continue to inspire. 💙🎵

حيث يبدأ الشفاء برفق.
Where healing softly begins.

26/06/2025

بعض المعاناة النفسية ليست مسوعة، لكن يمكن ان ندرك بأعيننا ما تخفيه قلوب الآخرين من معاناة، نمد أيدينا لنساعدهم وننصت لشكواهم ونستمر في السؤال عنهم. لا تترد في السؤال عن من تحب، فالإهتمام قد يخفف معاناتهم وقد ينقذ حياتهم.

Some emotional struggles are silent, but we can often see with our eyes what others hide in their hearts. Let us reach out to help, listen to their pain, and keep checking in on them. Don’t hesitate to ask about those you care for — your concern might ease their burden, or even save their life.
