An Integrate: Mind-Body Practice for Working Through Trauma Session
**This Session**
In this highly interactive session, J.C. Hall, a Hip Hop artist and clinical social worker, will guide us through embodying the therapeutic rhythm of rapping and invite us to write our own lyrics. Hip Hop therapy (HHT) is a culturally relevant and engaging therapeutic approach that leverages the power of Hip Hop culture to promote mental health and well-being. HHT serves as a platform for self-expression, empowerment, and social connection. Hip Hop’s ability to resonate with individuals on a personal level, along with its themes of resilience, community, and social justice, makes it a powerful tool for addressing trauma.
This session promises to be fun, empowering, and inspirational.
If you’re interested in understanding the science behind Hip Hop therapy, we invite you to explore J.C.’s previous sessions:

**The Presenter**
J.C. Hall, LCSW, EXAT is a Hip-Hop artist and clinical social worker who runs the Hip Hop Therapy Studio program at Mott Haven Community High School, a “second-chance” school in the South Bronx. In 2013, Hall assembled a professional recording studio in an old storage room to provide youth the opportunity to engage in the therapeutic process through writing, recording, producing and performing their own music. The origins of the program are chronicled in the award-winning short documentary Mott Haven, which showcases the efficacy of Hip-Hop therapy in addressing trauma and grief in the wake of a school tragedy.
After the passing of his friend and mentor Dr. Edgar Tyson, the originator of Hip Hop therapy, Hall created hiphoptherapy.com to serve as a centralized resource for those interested in learning about its theory and application. Due to the impact of his work over the years, Hall won a national Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service Benefiting the New York Community in 2020, as well as the 2024 Psychotherapy Networker Vanguard Award. Most recently, he was selected as a 2024 winner of The David Prize, which celebrates New Yorkers with ideas for extraordinary change.
