Smith Singing Workshops in Drug & Alcohol Rehab |
|
| In 2001 I was invited into
Rhoserchan Drug and Alcohol Rehab to run a short singing workshop. It was christmas time and the workshop was intended to raise the
morale of the residents and provide a positive diversionary activity. The workshop went surprisingly well, morale was indeed lifted, and singing became part of the repertoire of activites in Rhoserchan, along with gardening, art and drama. |

In 2006 I started work at another Drug rehab, this time in my home town of Swansea.
The Domino project is non-residential and provides group and therapeutic activities for addicts in recovery. Again, the singing proved very popular. After a 2 hour workshop the participants feel happy and relaxed, proud of the sound they make together, and, as one participant put it, ’ more connected to the other people in the room’. |
