About the episode

A systematic review has examined the role of music as a tool to support the wellbeing of children and adolescents. The outcomes include improved confidence and social connectedness, as well as increased humour and a stronger ability to deal with stress. SBS digs into the research findings and how it could help at-risk and marginalised youth in particular.
