Songwriting Programs for Youth in Residential
Our teaching artists work with youth and adults in residential treatment or IOP, helping them transform their experiences into powerful lyrics that reflect their recovery journey. Students develop skills in beat making, lyric-writing and recording. For many participants, this marks their first experience creating music focused on recovery and anti-addiction themes, providing a meaningful outlet for self-reflection and hope. Our work helps students process their struggles through creative expression, discover new pathways for healing, and envision a more positive future for themselves.
