Therapeutic Applications of Hip Hop

Welcome to this eight-week program that explores the therapeutic applications of Hip Hop as a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate vehicle to foster engagement, regulation, and integration for complex and developmental trauma. 

These workshops will be led by a collaborative of innovators in the field who will engage participants in various expressive exercises such as lyrical analysis, beat making, rhyme writing, and rapping. This series will give a basic introduction to the various ways in which Hip Hop can be integrated into the therapeutic process.
