our vision and values

Our vision is that certified harp therapists will come into their own and be viewed as an essential, integral part of all healthcare facilities including hospitals, cancer centers, surgical centers, nursing homes, rehabs, hospices, birthing centers, psychiatric, addiction and eating disorder treatment facilities as well as doctors’, dentists’, and chiropractic offices.

Working toward this, we are dedicated to:

• Raising awareness of the benefits of using the harp as an instrument of healing in healthcare and throughout the community.
• Documenting and disseminating the values of live harp through healthcare research.
• Developing and delivering the highest quality services and programs.
• Employing certified harp therapists, teachers and mentors who:
  
  
  • comply with all laws and regulations that impact the arts in healthcare and healthcare professions;
  • play and teach with competence and compassion;
  • act with integrity;
  • provide professional support for colleagues.
