| 2/7/2024 -2/7/2024 | APSAC Members: Free Non-Member Registration: $25 Title: Harm, Hip-Hop & Healing: Young Black Males’ Musical Medicine Description: African-American youth – particularly males – face a multitude of historic and contemporary traumatic stressors that impede or obstruct holistic healthy development. These types of traumas manifest in multiple settings and points on the developmental timeline to the mental, emotional, and physical detriment of these youth. Culturally-grounded approaches to mental health services for intervention and prevention programs offer a creative framework for interrupting chronic patterns and connecting strengths-based resources in response to these youth crises. This presentation will highlight a creative culturally-rooted approach called Hip-Hop H.E.A.L.S.! that strategically uses Rap music and Hip-Hop culture to engage, illustrate, and motivate trauma-informed evidence-based practices among diverse youth, families, and communities. This presentation will focus on the use of the H3 model with African-American male adolescents as a program exemplar with implications for expanding traditional frameworks for service development and delivery.

Description: Chronic observations about disparities in health, educational underachievement and employment opportunities for Black youth combined with the impact of the school to prison pipeline and the overrepresentation of Black males in juvenile and adult detention centers have created a too oft dim perspective about the potential of Black youth. This narrative obfuscates the positive potential Black youth represent, most importantly to these youth and how they often view their circumstances and options. The societal narrative and resulting action plan impinging on the lived experiences of Black youth and Black males in particular has limited their opportunities to express their tremendous potential. In this webinar we offer a different and actionable narrative premised on the assumption positive potential and possibility, not deficit. Transcending a siloed approach, we examine the role of intersectionality across silos that allows for the re-emergence of positive positioning for Black male youth. Presented by: LeRoy E. Reese, PhD Cancellations: No cancellations. No refunds. Registration is transferable. Requests for transfer to a future event will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
