Arsenault, like many Canadians, found herself working multiple jobs just to cover her basic expenses. Despite holding a master’s degree in music therapy and working two part-time therapy positions, she still couldn’t afford to pay her rent. Music therapy is a specialized field of healthcare that uses music to improve the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of individuals.

Working multiple jobs can have detrimental effects on an individual’s physical and mental health.
