SongsforStrength is a registered non-profit organization with a mission to uplift seniors’ mental health through music. Serving the Durham and Hamilton regions, we strive to provide accessible music support to residents of retirement facilities. Our goal is to alleviate seniors’ symptoms of dementia and foster a sense of belonging with youth in the community.
