Hip hop therapy

J.C. Hall a Hip Hop artist and social worker who runs the Hip Hop Therapy Studio program at Mott Haven Community High School, a “second-chance” transfer school in the South Bronx. In 2013, Hall assembled a professional recording studio to provide youth the opportunity to engage in the therapeutic process through writing, recording, producing and performing their own music. The origins of the program are chronicled in the award-winning short documentary Mott Haven, which showcases the effectiveness of this approach for addressing trauma in the wake of a school tragedy. As a result of its impact over the years, Hall won a Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service in 2020.
