Why the harp?
“HARP refers to King David's harp - an instrument of healing, peace, and divine intervention.”
HARP stands for HeFA Addiction Recovery Place, and our emblem is the ancient instrument “harp” - a symbol deeply rooted in history and healing. The harp is an ancient instrument dating back as far as the time of King David, who, as yet a boy, was anointed to be king of Israel. King David used this sacred instrument to treat King Saul of his recurrent mental health breakdowns, bringing calm and serenity to the troubled king - one of the earliest recorded instances of music therapy, a practice we proudly continue today.
We recognise that the same instrument is used in highlighting alcoholic beverages like Guinness - a common and readily accessible drink. As HARP focuses primarily on drug and alcohol rehabilitation, addiction treatment, and mental health research, we deliberately emphasise recovery in a positive frame of reference using the harp instrument, distinguishing our mission from commercial associations.
