Helping People Overcome Cultural Barriers

Hello everyone,

I would like to thank you for your time. It's great to be able to converse about our Hip-Hop and Spoken Word Therapy Curriculum. The Hip-Hop/Spoken Word therapy Mentor Service curriculum (HHSW) uses Hip-Hop/Spoken Word music to demonstrate prosody and wellness while teaching Hip-Hop/Spoken Word vocabulary, grammar and discourse explicitly through song, and production. HipHop/Spoken Word is relevant to all cultures and can unconsciously remove cultural barriers of Clients who may feel disconnected to the American society.?

This Hip-Hop/Spoken Word therapy Mentor Service curriculum (HHSW) provides a uniquely different approach to wellness. The Hip-Hop/Spoken Word therapy Mentor Service curriculum (HHSW) uses some online platforms to deliver interventions also promoting emotional wellness. The Hip-Hop/Spoken Word therapy Mentor Service curriculum (HHSW) is cost effective and facilitates mass dissemination.

Clients are asked write about a quote from the Hip-Hop/Spoken Word community/ culture, copy it down, and then free write. Clients write for 3 to 5 minutes straight in reaction to the quote. Afterward, everyone shares what they wrote. This can be done by verbally sharing or by passing each person’s paper to another person to read. This exercise is an anonymous writing lesson. Where I ask Clients to leave names off their papers, then collect them and randomly pass the papers back out so each Client reads one out loud.

I use this activity to get clients talking about what they know about Hip-Hop/Spoken Word and address troubled areas in their lives.?Questions used in the Hip-Hop/Spoken Word therapy Mentor Service to guide the Hip-Hop/Spoken Word conversation are:?

? Do you like Hip-Hop/Spoken Word? Why or why not??

? What is Hip-Hop/Spoken Word? What is rap? Are they different??

? Why do you think hip-hop started??

? What are the stereotypes about Hip-Hop/Spoken Word??

Our?Hip-Hop and Spoken Word Therapy Curriculum is a 39 week workshop 3 to 4 hour class made up of 4 parts. The first hour is a Entertainment Business and Technology meeting / Professional simi-formal, the second hour is Entertainment Media / Multimedia in the workplace, the third hour is Hip-hop Expression and Education, the four hour is Production and Marketing.?

I thank you for taking time out to read about our program and what we have to offer.? This is just a basic example of what we offer clients.
