ABSTRACT

Musical Intervention (MI) is a public space that supports individuals who seek opportunities for creativity and connection with the broader community. This study sought to evaluate and understand MI through surveys, qualitative interviews, and ethnographic observations. Data revealed that participants 1) described the space as a socially integrated community and a nonclinical therapeutic and sober environment; and 2) described their personal experience using MI. Public spaces like MI can provide integrative and transformative sober spaces for marginalized individuals to spend time outside of clinical settings as well as therapeutic opportunities through creative expression, supplementing the efforts of service providers.

摘要

音乐干预 (MI) 是一个公共空间，为寻求创造力和与更广泛社区联系的机会的个人提供支持。本研究旨在通过调查、定性访谈和民族志观察来评估和理解 MI。数据显示，参与者 1) 将该空间描述为一个社会融合的社区和一个非临床治疗和清醒的环境；2) 描述了他们使用 MI的个人经历。像 MI 这样的公共空间可以为边缘化个体提供综合性和变革性的清醒空间，让他们在临床环境之外度过时间，并通过创造性的表达提供治疗机会，补充服务提供者的努力。
