Over the past three years, Te’von Johnson-Stearnes’ Three Aunts Died and did not know how to cope with the loss.
He was trying to shop, sleep or grieve, but nothing was working. He tried the traditional therapy, but could not open the therapist so it stopped.
But then the Cleveland student made a new approach that felt a little more accessible: hip-hop therapy. After a few weeks, a 17-year-old student said he could start the healing process.
Johnson-Stearnes, “If you do not find a way forward, pain.” “With this program, this vibe and other people are lost and then talk about it is no longer bad.”
The Cope Seller program, which is deliberately called Glenville High School in Cleveland, is one of the many hip-hop therapy programs emerged in schools and communities. The goal is to help young people who can not perform mental health sources or finding traditional therapy matching them.
“We are treating the ability to fight.” “We are treating” topical healing techniques. “
In the program, teenagers learn learning skills such as 14-week magazine, breathing management and community building. They also discuss topics such as racial discrimination, police atrocities and neighborhood violence. The feelings they share in their skills and feelings, they work together and make their pain into music.
“You need a healthy speech,” said Jerome cash, a licensed therapist and the Cope Seller Program Accailitator. “It is more accessible to meet the students when you change the words of his tongue and things.”
Johnson-Stearnes said they were talking about their feelings and the feelings about the words he wrote to share their people and share their story. He said that he finally helped him to talk.
“It was a fearful feeling to talk about the loss with people,” he said. “The Cope Seller Program was a parcel experience and a group of hugs.”
Cash, he said he saw himself in children. Thinking therapy remembers that there is no black people because he never saw a representative office. He wants to make their students comfortable, so they do not feel alienated with the concept of therapy.
“He gave us a safe place to open us,” he said, Johnson-Stearnes, referring to the software. “They can help us and make a positive effect on getting us on the right path.”
Music therapy proved effective in reducing signs of depression and anxiety. Hip-hop, as born of the struggles and desires of the black and Latin youth, becomes a more accessible delivery system.
JC Hall is a clinical social worker who manages a hip-hop therapy studio program at Mott Haven Community High School in New York City’s Bronghi Borough. Edgar H., who focused on the experience of hip-hop therapy, studied under Tyson.
“Hip-hop, which is like therapy, saved my life in the true sense of the word. It lasted me for a long time.” “There is no doubt that this will help many people.”
17-year-old Kryst Jackson said he tried the traditional therapy, but he did not go to the point where he felt about his upbringing about his upbringing. After joining the Motta Haven’s studio program, he opened his music and touched music, including the “streets”, which touches the violence in Bronch.
“It’s really just able to express yourself in a fun way,” he said. “What I have learned about music is more than just the words in the beat. It’s what it can get out of you.”
A licensed family therapist and psychologist George James said he saw how mental health professionals need to look at black youth and mental health a unique way. Where there is hip-hop therapy, he thinks that black teenagers are a way to meet.
In connection with the mental health burden between black teenagers, 2022 showed that tears are less likely to seek and find mental health. According to the case, the reasons include negative setting and access to adverse services. Kryst and Te’von said they had tried traditional talk therapy, he said he did not work for it. James said that many black young people often feel a stigma in the medical industry when they often want a stigma and therapy inside a black society.
“There is something about a culture and modality that people can help say:” I could understand it or allow me to be meaningful or to go there and share my thoughts and emotions. “
Another Mott Pinet said that another Motta Haven student has changed the life for better in the three-month study program. It simply supports a society that encourages the Studio program, especially in the hall, which promotes the salon and students to drill more in deeper and dark.
17-year-old Pinet grew up with a mother who had to extend $ 100 among all the costs in a week. He said that he did not always be easier for his mother in school and his prices, but it was not until it helped to think that how he will behave in this way and how it could change his way.
“When you go through a situation, you really forget what it is because there’s a lot of things,” he said. “With music, I feel like I’m taking my situation in installments and what I understand.”
