Today we talked with Arvis Jones, and we were astonished. A rich experience to hear how Arvis has supported many in the recovery using Music Therapy, including herself after the murder of her 38-year-old son.
She is well accomplished. Arvis was one of the first African American Music Therapist employed by Arts & Services for the Disabled. Arvis was also the first Music Therapist at the Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic, working with children and youth of all ages who have emotional and environmental problems. As founder of the Center For Grief and Loss Children’s Choir, she provides grief and loss training for therapists, clinicians, teachers, after-school personnel, clergy, parents, and volunteers. Through a grant provided by the L. A. City Attorney’s Office, she has developed a grief and loss program for nine middle schools of LAUSD. She works with the L. A. Mayor’s Crises Response Team and the LAPD. Arvis has received numerous awards including, Woman of Distinction of Senate District 25, and Pioneer Woman of Council District 15.
