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.
