IoH would also like to thank The Phase Foundation for helping to make our programming possible.

Instruments of Healing is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses musical programming to positively affect and inspire those in recovery from mental health and substance use challenges. This past fiscal year, we served as a bright light in the wellness and recovery process of over 1,500 unique participants living in Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, and beyond.

IoH is currently focusing on the expansion of our programming to reach many more in need of healing throughout the region. Our goal in Fiscal Year 2020 is to serve many more unique participants.

WHAT DOES IOH DO?

Instruments of Healing is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the mission of creating musical experiences that promote wellness and inspire, motivate, and educate our peers in their recovery from mental health and substance use challenges. The programs presented by IoH include discussion about using music in recovery, instrumental experimentation, group jamming, solo singing, and sing-alongs. This unique mobile peer-run, peer-based organization brings a range of professional-grade musical instruments for our program participants to play during the many programs we give throughout Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, and beyond. During the programs, our participants lend each other a unique form of musical peer support that is non-judgmental, encouraging, and supportive. As peers teach each other, share their skills and talents, listen attentively to each other perform, and bond together over music, confidence and self-esteem is fostered during the IoH music-making experience.

WELCOME TO GENET AND ACE!

We'd like to extended a very belated WELCOME to IoH's newest team member, Genet Ghebremariam, and her dog Ace! Genet joined our IoH team as a contractor in August, and has been an incredible addition to our programming! Genet brings her life experiences as a peer, as well as her love for music and singing, to this position. She rocks the house with her enthusiasm and warmth when she helps Andy and Sabrina present musical wellness programs! Genet also brings her service dog Ace with her to our programs. Ace is in the process of becoming certified as a Therapy Dog, and adds a dimension of Pet Therapy to our programming when he comes along. He has been a big hit with the IoH program participants! Genet is in the process of being certified as a Peer Recovery Specialist, and has been attending many trainings around the area to this end. We are so glad to have her on board as a member of the IoH Team!

IoH CELEBRATED OUR 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
WITH MOSAIC COMMUNITY SERVICES, FEBRUARY 2019

Mosaic Community Services' Belcamp (Maryland) psychiatric rehabilitation program surprised Andy and Sabrina by having the clients sing The Beatles song "In My Life". Then they presented them with Happy Anniversary signs with thank you messages from the clients. It is so moving to know we have touched and helped so many people through the power of music! Here's to many more years together!
