THE ORIGINAL HIP HOP THERAPY CURRICULUM
Mental health issues affecting Black boys and young men can now be addressed with H.Y.P.E., a Hip Hop Therapy program specifically designed for the young warriors of Hip Hop culture. Created by Dr. Adia Winfrey, Healing Young People thru Empowerment (H.Y.P.E.): A Hip-Hop Therapy Program for Black Teenage Boys leverages familiar Hip Hop music, themes, and values to help Black males process through the many challenges they face at home, in their communities, in school, and in their peer relationships.
