September Complex Care/Specialized Permanency Webinar: Resonating With Youth: A Look at Hip-Hop Engagement and the Brain
September 18 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
What does it mean to resonate with someone? How do we go from the professional mind to the empathic mind in order to provide adequate service to clients?
While these questions would take more than one course to answer completely, this webinar offers unique insight utilizing an unconventional ally in our quest to connect: Hip-hop!
From the art of engagement to practice based evidence, we will explore how music influences the brain, emotional regulation, and the effects of trauma. We will also explore what it means to use hip-hop as a way to connect or as an intervention. Whether you were raised in hip-hop culture or know very little about the global phenomenon, you will find this session interesting and gain a new perspective on helping youth connect in their healing process.
