7 Purpose Statement The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of group lyric analysis and songwriting on homeless adolescents selfesteem, coping skills, and retention over an eight-session music therapy treatment period. The following research questions were addressed: Among homeless adolescents, do song writing and lyric analysis yield greater self-esteem outcomes than talk-based therapy groups? Do homeless adolescents identify more positive coping strategies and treatment benefits with songwriting and lyric analysis or talk-based interventions? Are songwriting and lyric analysis effective in retaining homeless adolescent participants from session to session, over an eight-session treatment period?

9 Do It Now Sitting in the back of the bus. Talking about nothing, oh we re talking about us. Watching as the world goes hammering on, hammering on. You say that you ve got nothing left. There s nothing left in you to find. You re gonna ride it out, gonna wait it out, living to die, you re living to die. No one s gonna wait for you. No one s gonna wait for you Chorus: So do it now. Do it right now. Don t waste a minute on the darkness and the pity sitting in your mind and do it right now. Do it right now. Everything will stop on a dime, everything will crash into itself in good time. Do you want to beat your own heart, beat your own heart or leave it behind, leave it behind? No one s gonna wait for you. No one s gonna wait for you. Chorus I m gonna get up, I m gonna get right out my bed, get out of my bed. You re gonna stand up, you re gonna stand right up again, stand right up again. I m gonna get up, I m gonna get out of my bed, get ouf of my head. You re gonna stand up, you re gonna stand up, you re gonna stand up. You re gonna stand up. Chorus

10 Outcome Measures Intake Questionnaire Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) pre- and posttreatment sessions Attendance Rates Qualitative Survey Notable observations, trends, themes that surface throughout the treatment period

11 Quantitative Data Demographics N = 6 (4 male, 2 female) Length of stay at facility ranged from 1 month to 9 months Reasons for moving into transitional living house Needed help Needed to move Homeless RSES Scores Most scores remained the same or increased slightly after treatment Paired t-tests showed statistically significant changes pre- to post-test for both treatment groups (0.20 alpha level) Control [t(6) = 2.30, p = 0.06] Experimental [t(12) = 1.73, p = 0.11] Independent t-tests did not show statistically significant differences in impact of one treatment over the other [t(18) = 0.26, p = 0.80]

12 Attendance Rates 5 Number of Participants Experimental Control 0 Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4

13 Qualitative Data All participants indicated positive response to both treatments 1 preferred non-musical interventions 1 preferred musical interventions 1 indicated equal preference for both Reasons for treatment preference mostly included an ability to creatively express oneself and relieve stress Several participants demonstrated behavior changes/ self-realizations Group song reflected themes of struggle, perseverance, and empowerment

14 Conclusions Both groups yielded statistically significant self-esteem changes, pre- to post-treatment Despite a lack of statistical significance between groups, participant attendance rates suggested a possible preference for the musical interventions Positive behavioral changes were observed and illustrated through qualitative responses Limitations Sample size Transient population Lack of multiple quantitative measurements of self-esteem Future recommendations A supportive, multi-faceted treatment approach Allow for more individual growth in addition to group interactions

15 Higher Than the Sky Verse 1: Falling in the middle of the road Felt like falling out of the sky Everybody stares at me and I just don t know why Finally got up, held my head up high Just kept on walking, left my worries far behind Chorus: It s time to fly Higher than the sky Who cares about wasting time Verse 2: Open your eyes to the road before you See what possibilities lie Turn your head away from those who ignore you Draw from the strength inside (Chorus)

16 PILOT PROJECT AT THE ORION CENTER: A DROP IN SHELTER FOR STREET DEPENDANT YOUTH Songwriting workshop held once per week for 8 weeks
