We all know that singing along to our favorite song can instantly lift our spirits, and increase our chances of having a more positive day.  Music can soothe us, empower us, or energize us, depending on the kind we listen to.  Counseling Services of Greater Boston believes in both the professional practice of music therapy, and in the utilization of music as a coping skill.  In other, simpler terms: music is powerful.

British artist Luke Jerram, of the public piano installation “Street Pianos Boston: Play Me I’m Yours'”, knows this as well.  And fellow Bostonians, we are lucky, because his touring pianos are coming to Boston.  You read right – between September and October, there will be about 75 pianos installed in the Boston area, free for anyone to play.

We all know how expensive piano, guitar and voice lessons can be over time, which is part of the reason why this installation is genius.  At your fingertips – literally – will be the chance to sit down, relax, and flood our beautiful city with some equally beautiful music.

Read up here on the details of this beautiful project.

And as always, Counseling Services of Greater Boston is here if you need support.  Call us at (781) 328-1904×102.

In their latest newsletter, Walden Behavioral Care provides us with some important information about the complications of being male and having an eating disorder.  There is a great deal of shame associated with the symptoms of an eating disorder, but that shame can be multiplied if you are male.  Why?  Eating disorders, up until now, have been known primarily as a “female” disorder.  Read up here to learn more about this topic!

And just as a reminder, Counseling Services of Greater Boston still has plenty of openings in the fall for counseling.  If you or a loved one are in search of emotional support, please feel free to give us a call at (781) 328-1904, x.102.  We are here to help.

Have a happy Labor Day weekend!

Sadly, summer barbeques and splashing in the pool will come to an end soon.  And that means…the school year is about to begin!

But for some, the new school year isn’t just new binders and school clothes.  It can trigger stress, worry, and fear about academics, social interactions, or bullying.

If your child experiences some of these symptoms and could utilize extra support, please contact Counseling Services of Greater Boston at (781) 328-1904.  Our experienced staff can provide the skills your child needs to have a positive, healthy school experience.

Soon to be the new home of Counseling Services of Greater Boston.
