CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Hip Hop Therapy

Exciting News! Six of our Music Group participants are currently enrolled in Hip Hop Therapy classes through Beats, Rhymes and Life Training Program. Beats, Rhymes and Life are an Oakland-based nonprofit Empowering At-Promise Youth through the Therapeutic Power. Over the next few weeks, our music group participants will learn how hip hop can be used in a therapeutic sense and how to share it with at promise youth.

We are currently working with at promise youth from three different treatment centers and are excited to expand our Youth Program thanks in part to the Beats, Rhymes and Life certification.
