Lost Voices https://www.lostvoices.org/ is a non-profit which uses music as a vehicle to change the lives of children impacted by violence, abuse, neglect, and human trafficking.
The non-profit was founded by Executive Director Mike Ball, after a visit to a Juvenile Detention Center.
Young people are encouraged to get in touch with their feelings by writing and performing their own songs. Workshops are facilitated by trained musicians.
A key element of the Lost Voices program is trauma informed care which focuses on the need to understand life experiences, establishing a non-judgmental setting in which young people can work through their emotions.
The goal is to confirm for these children that — whatever they may have done or been subjected to — their lives remain valuable.
“A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth” (Isa. 42: 3).

Amazing program!
We had music therapy for kids in my school for children with Severe Emotional Disorders, but the kids were encouraged to express themselves in music by learning different instruments, rather than compose their own. What a brilliant idea!
I was impressed, too, Dolly. ❤
This feels very right.

This looks like a great program.
We must pray for these young people. They may have been forgotten by others. But they are not forgotten by God.
God sees and cares. Yes we need to pray.
