Musical Intervention

Musical Intervention LLC’s founder, Adam Christoferson, has developed an assimilation program that offers individuals and groups of special needs to take part in the transformational power of creating original songs. Adam has had the pleasure to work with various social service organizations throughout Connecticut and serve the homeless, at-risk youth, veterans, substance abusers and adults with mental illness. His efforts have been featured in international academic symposiums, public access radio, and performing arts venues. Musical Intervention has also received community enrichment grants from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Arts Council of Greater New Haven with great success.


Musical Intervention can provide the outlet and assistance needed to help individuals transcend themselves through creative and expressive songwriting while developing their skills as contributing members of society. Individuals are exposed to the technological and educational uses of music and audio-visual recording to help teach them skills that they can use to help incorporate them back into the working community and to inspire positive coping skills that help to reshape their identity.


OUR EXPERIENCE
Adam applies his degree in Recreation Therapy and talent in music to co-write original songs with program participants and produce professional recordings and music videos. His work with at risk youth has been featured at the World Congress of Adolescence and Child Psychiatry in Beijing, China and various other conferences around the world. Throughout the journey, Adam has left a trail of success stories of people who he has served. Adam was the featured speaker at the Yale Donald J. Cohen Mentorship Program at Yale School of Medicine. Adam has also provided his services to Yale New Haven Child Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital, New Haven public schools, Southern Connecticut State University, Hill Health Center's Village Of Power, Norwalk After School Programs, Riverview Opera Project, Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, HEROS Childhood Cancer Survivorship Clinic, and various other after-school programs throughout the state of Connecticut.

MISSION AND VALUES
Musical Intervention’s mission is to inspire people to learn and grow by helping them write, record, and perform music. We believe there is a song in everyone that can be explored to help uncover lost potential. We strive to help people capture their story by creating original songs.

Musical Intervention cares about people – volunteers, the public, participants, and other partners as individuals, treating them respectfully and dutifully. We strive for integrity in all aspects of our business, including associations with other people, products, and services that fulfill the community’s expectations.

GOALS
Musical Intervention’s goal is to reduce the amount of people not receiving services and to provide an emotional outlet for those that need it most. We want to provide a communal music program that is open to the public to connect the community.
