SECTION: Music for Working with Trauma Survivors COUNTRY: Sierra Leone PROJECT: COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION OF GIRLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIGHTING FORCES IN SIERRA LEONE: ASSESSING PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS THROUGH SONG – A PILOT STUDY DESCRIPTION: This pilot study was conducted in Kambia District of Sierra Leone in October 2003. Music was used to help assess community health and well-being, specifically psychosocial health of girls attempting to reintegrate into their communities following their association with the rebel fighting forces. Research by McKay & Gonsalves (2004) highlighted the vulnerability of girls returning from the fighting forces with babies born from rape or rebel or owner-“husbands.” Girl mothers, in a society suffering from collective societal trauma, were identified as among the most marginalized, neglected and underserved of all the girls returning to communities. The violation of community norms and inability to care for their children economically led to further despair and hardship, including an increase in health risks. In some instances attempts to access information regarding the psychosocial needs of the girls through traditional verbal interviews failed. Research shows how local music, particularly song (both improvised and previously known), can assist in the psychosocial reintegration of girl mothers and their children to their community. The use of the music did promote community development as the girls were able to experience connectivity as a result of singing together. Additionally, women elders, who communicated with the researchers almost exclusively in song, were able to share, through song, cultural norms, associations, and possibilities with regard to their involvement and investment in the long-term psychosocial health of the girls in their communities. CURRENT STATUS: A one time pilot study, seeking funds for further implementation. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Schimpf, M.G. (2009).
