Music Therapy for Rohingya Children – Healing Trauma Through Rhythm and Harmony
In response to the emotional and psychological trauma faced by displaced Rohingya children, the People’s Theatre Association (PTA) launched the Music Therapy for Rohingya Children initiative—an innovative program that uses rhythm, sound, and song to support healing, emotional expression, and social connection.
Music, as a universal language, offers a safe space for children who have endured violence, loss, and forced migration. Through interactive sessions involving singing, drumming, breathing, and guided improvisation, these therapy sessions help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and foster a sense of hope and belonging.
The therapy is led by trained facilitators who are sensitive to the children’s backgrounds, languages, and cultural identity. More than just entertainment, the sessions are designed to rebuild emotional resilience, enhance memory and cognitive function, and promote group unity.
By bringing music as medicine to vulnerable communities, PTA continues its mission of using the arts for healing, empowerment, and human dignity—especially for those whose voices are often unheard.
