HIP HOP FOR MENTAL HEALTH
A national campaign dedicated to helping young people learn to “beat the blues” by harnessing the power of positive mental health rhymes.
HIP HOP FOR MENTAL HEALTH is a national campaign dedicated to helping young people learn to “beat the blues” by harnessing the power of positive mental health rhymes. The founder and director is Dr. Patrice Wolters, a Licensed Psychologist, who writes mental health lyrics that spring from the vault of her over twenty years of experience. Dr. Wolters struggled with several mood challenges earlier in her life that enable her to provide cutting edge and catchy verses that can help people move forward while listening to music.
The three goals of this national initiative are designed to empower young people (and people of all ages) and provide tools to enhance service delivery to various helping professionals:
Goals:
- Identify the red flags for mood disorders;
- Defeat the stigma related to mental health conditions;
- Help young people manage moods with positive coping tools.
