For many of us, music is an important part of our lives.

The MSCFV team has pulled together a list of song recommendations from staff, friends, survivors, and other family violence agencies. These songs inspire people to keep going through the tough times, bringing energy to those that feel drained, and hope to those who feel lost. We will keep adding to the list, so keep sending your recommendations to info@mscfv.org.
