The Danger of Hope™:
Creative Methods for Emotional Processing

Presentation Description:

After a Behavior Specialist starts using "creative methods" with 9th graders at a Detroit public high school, she is accused by the students of being a "witch." The students struggled to understand how the use of art could make them feel comfortable discussing traumas they had vowed to lock away forever.

The presentation will incorporate clips from the performance of “The Danger of Hope™” which chronicles some of the stories of these 9th graders' introductions to creative methods. The performance clips will be followed by a presentation of research about creative methods. After discussion and self-reflection activities, participants will have the opportunity to practice and facilitate the creative methods that are introduced. Participants will learn about two creative therapeutic methods that can be used with students for support in emotional processing.
